Abstract

Investors rely on companies' financial statements and economic data to inform their investment decisions. However, many businesses manipulate financial statements to raise more capital from investors and financial institutions, which reduces the practicality of financial statements. The modern business environment is highly information-oriented, and firms' information systems and activities are complex and dynamic. Technology for avoiding fraud detection is continually updated. Recent studies have focused on detecting financial statement fraud within a single business, but not within a business group. Development of methods for using diverse data to detect financial statement fraud in business groups is thus a high priority in the advancement of fraud detection.
