This study aims to examine the factors that affect the fraudulent financial statements of the company. Fraud detection of financial statements using fraud triangle theory. Based on the theory of fraud triangle there are three factors: pressure, opportunity, and rationalization are used as parameters to detect fraud. The sample of this study used 44 companies in 3 years of observation, where the company is divided into companies that are indications of fraud and not by doing the analysis using the calculation of the underlying M-score, this study used logistic regression, the result that the indication of fraud in this study only can be obtained from external pressure factors on pressure variables and the effectiveness of monitoring on the opportunity variables, this study fails to establish influence in three factors at once ie pressure, opportunity, and rational

The sample in this research are all auditors who work in Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan (BPK) Republik Indonesia (The Indonesia’s Supreme Audit Institution) Reprensentative of North Sulawesi Province. The data of this research is using primary data. The data was collected  by distributing  questionnaires directly to auditors of BPK RI Representative of North Sulawesi Province. This research is using the multiple linear regression analsys with SPSS 23.  The result indicate that: 1) Professional Skepticism has positive effect towards Fraud Detection Ability of External Auditor. 2) Auditor’s Experience has positive effect towards Fraud Detection Ability of External Auditor. 3) Professional Skepticism and Auditor’s Experience simultaneously have positive effect towards Fraud Detection Ability of External Auditor. Keywords: Professional Skepticism, Auditor’s experience, Fraud Detection Ability of External Auditor

Fraudulent financial statements are deliberate furnishing and/or reporting incorrect statistics, and this has become a major economic and social concern as the global market is witnessing an upsurge in financial accounting fraud, costing businesses billions of dollars a year. Identifying companies that manipulate financial statements remains a challenge for auditors, as fraud strategies have become increasingly sophisticated over the years. We evaluate machine learning techniques for financial statement fraud detection, particularly a powerful ensemble technique, the XGBoost algorithm, that help to identify fraud on a set of sample companies drawn from the MENA region. The issue of the class imbalance in the dataset is addressed by applying the SMOTE algorithm. We found that XGBoost algorithm outperformed other algorithms in this study: Logistic Regression (LR), Decision Tree (DT), Vector Machine Support (SVM), Adaboost, and RandomForest. The XGBoost algorithm is then optimised to obtain the optimum performance.

ABSTRACT Fraud detection is one of the key components of an internal control system that is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding reliable financial statements, effective and efficient operations, compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and safeguarding of assets (AICPA 2002; Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 1992). Practically, however, it is challenging to determine what should be investigated among myriads of a company's transactions, most of which are normal and/or free from material error. Limited human resources and cost constraints are major barriers to fraud detection in practice. This study proposes a multi-step fraud detection model that screens transactions at various levels, which leads to a manageable number of transactions that internal auditors can examine. To that end, a broad screening criterion is applied at the highest level, while more detailed criteria are used at the lowest level. This study provides an example of development of a practicable fraud detection model.
