Abstract

 
 
 Fraudulent financial statements are disclosures of a company’s financial condition which are intentionally made inaccurate by eliminating values. This study aimed to examine the effect of using the Beneish M-Score model against fraud reports of manufacturing companies listed in the Indonesian Stock Exchange in 2016 -2018. Purposive sampling was used and the sample consisted of 69 companies. The results showed that the Days Sales in Receivables Index, Gross Margin Index and Total Accrual to Total Asset had a significant positive effect on financial statement fraud, while the Asset Quality Index, Sales Growth Index, Depreciation Index, Sales General and Administrative Expenses Index, and Leverage Index did not affect fraudulent financial statements.
