Abstract

Financial fraud through the falsification of financial statements is an evident problem. The restatement is enormous, and there have been developed many approaches to confront it. Profits manipulation has reached alarming proportions worldwide. The tendency of management to present a misleading image based on accounting weaknesses and gaps, to present accounting results as it wishes and not as it should according to the accounting standards, is essentially a key feature of profit manipulation. The executives' motives to falsify financial results and creative accounting practices have concerned researchers and their efforts to identify the necessary changes and improvements in accounting systems to protect the stakeholders and the public from misleading information.
