This survey paper categorizes, compares, and summarizes the data set, algorithm and performance measurement in almost all published technical and review articles in automated accounting fraud detection. Most researches regard fraud companies and non-fraud companies as data subjects, Eigenvalue covers auditor data, company governance data, financial statement data, industries, trading data and other categories. Most data in earlier research were auditor data; Later research establish model by using sharing data and public statement data. Company governance data have been widely used. It is generally believed that ratio data is more effective than accounting data; Seldom research on time Series Data Mining were conducted. The retrieved literature used mining algorithms including statistical test, regression analysis, neural networks, decision tree, Bayesian network, and stack variables etc.. Regression Analysis is widely used on hiding data. Generally the detecting effect and accuracy of NN are superior to regression model. General conclusion is that model detecting is better than auditor detecting rate without assisting. There is a need to introduce other algorithms of no-tag data mining. Owing to the small size of fraud samples, some literature reached conclusion based on training samples and may overestimated the effect of model.read more

An Empirical Analysis of the Relation between Board of Director Composition and Financial Statement Fraud
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors empirically tested the prediction that the inclusion of larger proportions of outside members on the board of directors significantly reduces the likelihood of financial statement fraud and found that no-fraud firms have boards with significantly higher percentages of outside board members than fraud firms.

Fraudulent Financial Reporting: Consideration of Industry Traits and Corporate Governance Mechanisms
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide insight into financial statement fraud instances investigated during the late 1980s through the 1990s within three volatile industries (technology, health care, and financial services) and highlight important corporate governance differences between fraud companies and no-fraud benchmarks on an industry-by-industry basis.

Detecting GAAP violation: implications for assessing earnings management among firms with extreme financial performance
TL;DR: The authors presented a model to detect earnings management among firms experiencing extreme financial performance, and compared the model's performance to that of discretionary accrual models, and found that the model provides timely assessments of the likelihood of manipulation, and that model-based trading strategies earn significant abnormal returns.

Incentives and Penalties Related to Earnings Overstatements that Violate GAAP
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the incentives and penalties related to earnings overstatements primarily in firms that are subject to accounting enforcement actions by the Securities and Exchange Commission and find that managers in treatment firms are more likely to sell their holdings and exercise stock appreciation rights in the period when earnings are overstated than are managers in control firms, and that the sales occur at inflated prices.
