Fraud is an action taken intentionally and it is done for personal or other people's purposes, where the action has caused harm to certain parties or certain institutions. Misstatements contained in fraudulent financial statements are intentional misstatements to deceive users of financial statements. The source of this misstatement includes manipulation or falsification of accounting records, intentional misstatements or omissions from financial statements, and / or incorrect application of accounting principles. In Indonesia, accounting fraud also occurs at the company level, both private and government companies. On December 6, 2012, the announcement of Indonesia's score in the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) was 32 and ranked 118th out of 176 countries which measured the level of corruption (Transparency International, 2012). In 2001, a fraud scandal occurred by PT Kimia Farma Tbk. PT Kimia Farma is a state-owned company whose shares have been traded on the exchange to become public company. Based on indications by the Ministry of BUMN and Bapepam's examination, it was found that there were misstatements in the financial statements which resulted in overstatement of net income for the year ended 31 December 2001 of Rp. 32.7 billion, which represented 2.3% of sales and 24.7% from net income. The author's purpose of this study is to discuss about detecting fraud in financial statements by using 5 (five) of the 8 (eight) Beneish ratio indices, because Beneish's research states that the Days Sales in Receivables Index (DSRI) ratio index, the Gross Margin Index ( GMI), Asset Quality Index (AQI), Sales Growth Index (SGI), and Total Accrual to Total Asst Index (TATA) have significant results to detect financial report manipulation.

Financial statement fraud is a serious and constructive problem for external parties of the company, especially for investors. This study aims at factors that cause false financial statements with variables as moderating variables. The factors used in this study are pentagon fraud theory which consists of variables of pressure, opportunity, rationalization, competence, and arrogance. This study uses the company in the Indonesia Stock Exchange 2016-2017 period as a research sample. Based on the results of purposive sampling obtained 204 data manufacturing companies that meet the sample. Testing the hypothesis in this study was carried out using logistic regression analysis. The results of testing the hypothesis to see the effect on fraudulent financial statements indicate that competence has a significant positive effect, pressure has a negative effect, the opportunity has no significant effect, rationalization has no significant effect, arrogance has no significant effect. In the moderating variable earnings, quality cannot weaken the influence of pressure, opportunity, rationalization, and arrogance on fraudulent financial statements, but earnings quality can weaken the influence of competence on fraudulent financial statements. Simultaneous testing shows that the overall variable has a significant effect on fraudulent financial statements.

Berdasarkan hasil purposive sampling diperoleh 204 data perusahaan manufaktur yang memenuhi kriteria sampel. Pengujian hipotesis dalam penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan analisis regresi logistik. Hasil pengujian hipotesis untuk melihat pengaruh terhadap fraudulent financial statement menunjukkan bahwa competence berpengaruh positif signifikan, pressure berpengaruh negatif, opportunity tidak berpengaruh signifikan, rationalization tidak berpengaruh signifikan, arrogance tidak berpengaruh signifikan. Pada variabel moderasi kualitas laba tidak dapat memperlemah pengaruh pressure, opportunity, rationalization dan arrogance terhadap fraudulent financial statement, namun kualitas laba dapat memperlemah pengaruh competence pada fraudulent financial statement.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate empirically the eight-variables Beneish M-model to identify occurrence of financial statement fraud or tendency to engage in earning manipulation. Design/methodology/approach A data set of 25,468 companies (Société Anonyme and Limited Liability Companies) in Greece was analyzed during two-year period of 2011-2012. Financial statements of banks are excluded. Findings The results showed that 8,486 companies or 33 per cent of the whole sample has a greater than −2.2 score, which is a signal that companies are likely to be manipulators. Also, for manipulators, results using F-distribution showed that days sales in receivable index (DSRI), asset quality index (AQI), depreciation index, selling, general and administrative expenses index (SGAI), total accruals to total assets index and leverage index (LVGI) are significant at 99 per cent confidence level in its effect on Beneish M-score. Also, there is a significant relationship between earning management, as expressed by Beneish M-score and each one of variables, DSRI, AQI, gross margin index, sales growth index, SGAI and LVGI. Most of all, DSRI explains 95.92 per cent of the variation in Beneish M-score in statistical terms. Practical implications Results are important for banking system, because financial statements information influence credit decisions of banks. Debt agreements include terms based upon accounting numbers. Also, using Beneish Model, it is a cheap and easy way for examiners of possible fraudulent activity. Originality/value To the best of the author’s knowledge, there is a great lack of research in Greece, using Beneish model. There is only one more study using the Beneish model, examining only a few companies listed in Athens Stock Exchange during 1999-2000. Findings have also important implications not only for banks but also for users of Greek financial statement accounts, especially to investors, auditors, regulators, to taxation and other state authorities.

This study aims to determine the Pentagon Determinant Fraud in detecting fraudulent financial statements. Fraudulent financial statements are proxied by the Fraud Score Model. Whereas the pressure factor is proxied by insisting from within, for the opportunity factor proxied by industry conditions, the rationalization factor is proxied by the ratio of total accruals, the competency factor is proxied by the change of directors and arrogance is proxied by the duality of quality positions at the CEO. The population in this study amounted to 100 companies incorporated in the compass index 100 contained in the Indonesia Stock Exchange and for the sample of the study were 35 companies belonging to the compass index 100 contained in the Indonesia Stock Exchange, which was selected using the purposive sampling method for the 2017-2018 period. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. Based on the test results, it was concluded that the pentagon fraud component included internal pressure (LEV), industry conditions (INVENTORY), rationalization (TATA) influencing financial statement fraud while competence (DCHANGE) and arrogance (DCD) had no effect on financial fraud statement. This proves that internal pressure (LEV), industry conditions (INVENTORY), and rationalization (TATA) can be used to detect fraud in financial statements.
