Financial statement fraud is the fraud that is carried out by displaying financial statements that are not by actual events. The reason for doing financial statement fraud is to make stockholders believe that the performance of the company is satisfactory. In facilitating its actions, it can be done by presenting annual financial statements that are better than the original, such as increasing profits and reducing debt. The purpose of this study is to identify opportunities for financial statement fraud to occur using the fraud pentagon model theory developed by Crowe Howarth in 2012. In the fraud Pentagon model, there are five main variable elements, namely pressure, opportunity, rationalization, ability, and arrogance.
