Predicting financial statement fraud using fuzzy neural networks
2020
Fraud is a common phenomenon in business, and according to Section 24 of the Iranian Auditing Standards, it is the fraudulent act of one or more managers, employees, or third parties to derive unfair advantage and any intentional or unlawful conduct. Financial statements are a means of transmitting confidential management information about the financial position of a company to shareholders and other stakeholders. In this paper, by reviewing the literature, 6 indicators of current ratio, debt ratio, inventory turnover ratio, sales growth index, total asset turnover ratio, and capital return ratio as input and detection of financial fraud as output are considered for the fuzzy neural network. The database was compiled for 10 companies in the period from 2010 to 2018 after clearing and normalizing qualitatively between 1 to 5 discrete numbers with very low or very high meanings, respectively. The fuzzy neural network model with 161 nodes, 448 linear parameters, 36 nonlinear parameters, and 64 fuzzy laws with two methods of accuracy approximation of mean squared error and root mean squared error has been set to zero and 0.0000001 respectively. This neural network can be used for prediction.
