The independent variable in this study consisted of profitability with ROA ratio, leverage using the calculation of the ratio of total liabilities to total assets, and liquidity using the calculation of the ratio of total current assets to current liabilities. The moderating variable in this study is auditor quality as a moderating variable with a dummy variable. The Hypothesis test conducted is using moderated regression analysis (MRA). The results of this study indicate that the financial statements fraud risk is influenced by financial liquidity ratios, while financial ratios of profitability and leverage have not been proven to affect financial report fraud.

This study investigated the influence of firm-specific characteristics which include proportion of Non-Executive Directors, ownership concentration, firm size, profitability, debt equity ratio, liquidity and leverage on the extent and quality of financial ratios disclosed by firms listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange.The research was conducted through detailed analysis of the 2012 financial statements of  the listed firms.  Descriptive analysis was performed to provide the background statistics of the variables examined.  This was followed by regression analysis which forms the main data analysis.  The results of the extent of financial ratio disclosure level, mean of 62.78%, indicate that most of the firms listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange did not overwhelmingly disclose such ratios in their annual reports.  The results of the low quality of financial ratio disclosure mean of 6.64% indicate that the disclosures failed woefully to meet the International Accounting Standards Board's qualitative characteristics of relevance, reliability, comparability and understandability.The results of the multiple regression analysis show that leverage and return on investment are associated on a statistically significant level as far as the extent of financial ratio disclosure is concerned. Board ownership concentration and proportion of (independent) non-executive directors, on the other hand were found to be statistically associated with the quality of financial ratio disclosed. There is a significant negative relationship between ownership concentration and the quality of financial ratio disclosure.  This means that under a higher level of ownership concentration less quality financial ratios are disclosed. The findings also show that there is a significant positive relationship between board composition (proportion of non-executive directors) and the quality of financial ratio disclosure.  JEL CLASSIFICATION: G3, M1, M2, M4.

Different from previous studies in Vietnam, this paper focuses on fraud risk, identifying the factors that affect the risk of financial reporting fraud of listed companies in Vietnam. Moreover, the research aims to forecast the possibility of fraudulent financial statements of listed companies in Vietnam. Based on M-score models (Beneish, 1999) and F-score model (Dechow et al., 2011), this research develops experimental results based on a sample of 307 companies with 3684 financial statements observations from 2007 to 2018. Research results show that the higher financial leverage in firms’ financial statements, the higher risk of financial statements, and the higher fraud’s tendency. Moreover, the findings also show that perennial firms, bigger firms, and listed firms, they likely to have a higher tendency of financial statement fraud. Research results show that the higher the financial leverage ratio, the more errors in reporting, the higher the tendency for fraud. At the same time, the older a business, the larger its scale and listed on the stock exchange, the more likely it is that the financial statements are fraudulent.
