Financial statement fraud is a growing concern in the United States. This fraudulent activity involves deliberately misrepresenting, omitting or misstating financial statement data for the direct purpose of creating a false impression. This is often done to make a company’s financial strength look stronger than it actually is. Some public and private businesses are guilty of these practices, and often commit this type of fraud to secure investor interests, obtain bank financing or just as a way to justify executive bonuses and increased salaries to shareholders.Financial statement fraud falls into multiple categories, including:
- Improper revenue recognition
- Management override of internal controls
- Manipulation of liabilities
- Manipulation of expenses
- Improper disclosures on financial statements
- Overstating assets
