Detecting Corporate Financial Fraud using Beneish M-Score Model
Authors
Abstract:
Detecting financial fraud is an important issue and ignoring this issue may cause financial and non-financial losses to individuals and organizations. The aim of this study is to test the ability of Beneish M-Score Model for detecting financial fraud among companies listed on Tehran stock exchange. The research sample consists of 137 companies listed on Tehran Stock Exchange for a period of 11 years (2005-2015). Logistic regression analysis is used to test the research hypothesis at the level of 5% error. The results show that the accuracy of Beneish M-score model for detecting fraudulent financial reporting is 66/03 percent. In general, based on the logistic regression analysis, despite the existence of valid theoretical foundations, it seems that it is not possible to detect financial fraud of companies listed on Tehran stock exchange using Beneish M-score model. In other words, based on financial information of companies listed on Tehran Stock Exchange, Beniesh model is not a suitable model for detecting fraud and we need to develop a new model to detect fraud in financial reports

Providing a Model for Detecting Tax Fraud Based on the Personality Types of Corporate Financial Managers using the Neural Network Approach
One of the management measures to reduce tax liabilities is non-payment of taxes through tax fraud. Because personality factors may play a role in explaining tax ethics, examining personality traits and aspects of tax fraud can help to better understand the factors that influence tax decisions. The main purpose of this study is to provide a model for detecting tax fraud based on the personality...

This research proposes and implements a heuristic model to detect client-side e-banking fraud caused by malware. Results show that the model is promising and is able to detect malicious injections from malware.

full textMetaFraud: A Meta-Learning Framework for Detecting Financial Fraud
This appendix reports the results for the baseline and yearly/quarterly context-based classifiers when using the 1:10 regulator cost setting. Since the AUC values are computed across different cost settings (and are therefore the same for the investor and regulator situations), we report only the legitimate/fraud recall rates. Overall AUC values as well as results for the investor cost setting ...
