Project Title: A two-stage analysis of financial statements misstatements using Benford and Beneish's models

The main aim of the proposed study is to test whether the mathematical Benford’s Law Digital Analysis and Beneish M-Score models able to detect data manipulation in Toshiba’s financial statements prior to and during the events leading up to the public revelation in 2015 as compared to other comparable Japanese companies. The accounting and finance literature suggest that both the Benford and Beneish models were found to be effective in detecting irregularities in accounting data. A comparative longitudinal financial statements analysis using both tools has not been tested in a single large public listed company in the years prior to and during fraudulent reporting up to the exposure to the public. The findings would provide a support (or not) for the tools to be used as part of analytical review procedures in the audit of the financial statements. Long-term benefits of protecting the regulators and investors’ interests in making sure a smooth operation and efficient capital allocation in economy can perhaps be inferred.
