THE EFFECT OF LEVERAGE, PROFITABILITY, ASSET COMPOSITION, LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL TURNOVER, AND CASH FLOW ON FRAUDULENT FINANCIAL REPORTING

This study aimed to see if financial ratios and cash
flow patterns affect fraudulent financial reporting.
The Beneish M-Score and Altman Z-Score models
are used in this study to classify companies that
commit fraudulent financial reporting and those that
do not commit fraudulent financial reporting.
According to the findings of this study, leverage
ratio, profitability, asset composition, liquidity,
capital turnover, and cash flow pattern types 2,3,4,
and 6 all impact fraudulent financial reporting. This
study's implications include theoretical knowledge
from signaling theory relevant to corporations'
fraudulent financial reporting. These findings can be
used as information material for investors to see the
criteria for companies that do fraudulent financial
reporting using financial ratios and cash flow
patterns from operating, investing, and funding
activities so that they can be considered in making
investment decisions for investors and become a
reference in further research.
