Methodology/Technique - The research data were companies who committed fraud based Database Case Sanctions Issuers and Public Companies which was released by the Financial Services Authority in the period 2001-2014. For comparison, researchers also used data from companies that did not commit fraud. Companies were selected based on the same industry group of companies committing fraud for the purposes of classification. Findings - The results show that data mining methods can be used to detect financial fraud based on Beneish m-score model. However, there are differences in the classification.
