Pressure, opportunity, rationalization, arrogance, and the ability to commit fraud ...are all factors that contribute to financial statement fraud. The role of the auditor is critical in detecting signs of fraud in financial reports. Therefore, the researchers wish to conduct a literature review on audit fraud, focusing on the role of auditing in identifying fraudulent corporate financial statements in Indonesia. Auditors play a crucial role in detecting fraud in a financial report, according to the findings of this study, which the researchers hope will provide future researchers with insight and references for research in the field of fraud auditing and inform the public of this fact.
In the last decade, changes driven by globalization, constant shifts in consumer preferences, and frequent alterations in business strategy have become prominent. This research focuses on changes in ...the presentation and interpretation of information related to key company performances. Traditional financial reports, although informative, are no longer sufficient to meet the needs of target audiences. Increased demands regarding corporate responsibility and sustainable business practices have prompted companies to provide qualitative information about their business operations, as well as about intangible aspects of the company, which have become crucial for stakeholders. This has given rise to the need for an integrated report that would include a wide spectrum of interest groups. This paper explores the importance of implementing integrated reporting in company presentations. While the adoption of such reports is still in its infancy, there is a growing awareness of their significance.
I examine social capital's impact on financial reports. Based on the social capital literature, I predict that the quality of the financial reports is higher when a firm is headquartered in a region ...with high social capital. Consistent with this prediction, I find that the firms that are headquartered in this type of region in the USA have a lower probability of committing fraud by misrepresenting financial information. Further, I find that the firms in regions with high social capital have lower levels of discretionary accruals and much more readable annual reports.
The objective of this study was to showcase the influence of Business Intelligence (BI) tools, such as Online Analytical Processing (OLAP), Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) processes, Data Mining (DM), ...Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS), and Document Management Systems (DMS), on maintaining the quality of financial reports in Jordanian commercial banks listed on the Amman Stock Exchange. Two approaches were employed to achieve the research objectives: a descriptive-analytical approach involving the development of a questionnaire to gather primary data on the independent variables associated with BI tools (OLAP, ETL, DM, RDBMS, DMS), and an applied approach to evaluate the dependent variable represented by the sustainability of financial report quality, utilizing the financial statements of commercial banks listed on the Amman Stock Exchange from (2016 to 2021). Data analysis and hypothesis testing were conducted using statistical software (SPSS) through multiple regression analysis. The results of the statistical data analysis and input from the research community indicated that the sustainability of financial report quality, as a valuable asset for banks, relies on the utilization of Business Intelligence tools. IT professionals in commercial banks perceive a statistically significant impact of BI tools on maintaining the quality of financial reports. Consequently, the management of commercial banks listed on the Amman Stock Exchange should prioritize the effective utilization of Business Intelligence tools, as their potential lies in aiding the accounting process to achieve its objectives, which ultimately contribute to the sustainability of financial reports. By employing these tools accurately and efficiently in accounting practices, all stages of the accounting process can be influenced, enabling the transformation of available data into information that benefits decision-makers both internally and externally within the banking environment.

The purpose of this study is to construct a financial report quality model that includes professional supervision as a moderator of the relationship between audit quality and competence and ...independence, and audit quality as a mediation effect of competence and independence on the quality of financial reports. Perceptions of Public Accountants (AP) on competence, independence, audit quality, professional supervision, and quality of financial reports are the subject matter of primary data collected by purposive sampling from 678 KAPs in Indonesia. Partial Least Square is used to analyze. The t test was applied to test the hypothesis.

Second, audit quality as a mediator has the potential to strengthen the impact of competence and independence on the quality of financial reports. The impact on the quality of financial reports increases along with audit quality.

We identify two research design issues that explain the inconsistency between the theoretically predicted negative relation between audit effort and misstatements (measured using restatements) and ...empirical findings. First, auditor risk adjustment behavior induces an upward bias in the association between audit effort and restatements. Second, the theoretical prediction applies only to audited financial reports (i.e., annual reports) and not to unaudited reports (i.e., interim quarterly reports). Comingling restatements of audited with unaudited reports introduces an additional upward bias in the association between audit effort and restatements. After correcting for these two sources of bias, we find a robust negative association between audit effort and annual report restatements.
