The measurement used to calculate financial statement fraud is earnings management. In addition, the software used is SPSS IBM 24. The results show that the financial target and the nature of the industry have a significant positive effect on financial statement fraud, while the external pressure, change of directors, collusion, and change of auditors have no significant effect on fraudulent financial statements. Meanwhile, the CEO duality variable has a negative but not significant effect on financial statement fraud.
