Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of financial stability, total accruals, change in directors, and political connections on financial statement fraud, measured through the F-Score, with nature of industry as a moderator. The sample consists of 111 non-financial companies from 2021-2023, selected through purposive sampling. Using a quantitative method, data were analyzed via panel data regression and MRA in EViews 13. Findings show that financial stability and total accruals positively affect financial statement fraud, whereas director changes and political connections are not significant. Moderated regression analysis indicates that industry nature moderates the effects of total accruals and director changes but does not moderate the effects of financial stability and political connections.
