Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the influence of pressure, opportunity, and rationalization, the three elements of the fraud triangle, on financial reporting fraud among manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2020–2024. Research Methodology: A quantitative descriptive-verification design was used with secondary data from published annual financial reports. Pressure was proxied by leverage ratio, opportunity by changes in accounts receivable, and rationalization by auditor turnover (DCHANGE). Fraudulent financial reporting was measured using the Beneish M-Score. A sample of 67 companies (335 firm-year observations) was selected using proportional stratified sampling. Multiple linear regression analysis was applied. Results: The results showed that opportunity significantly affected financial reporting fraud (? = 0.891, p < 0.001), while pressure and rationalization were insignificant. Together, the three factors explained some variation in fraud risk (F = 7.812, p < 0.001, R² = 0.066). Conclusions: Opportunities, particularly changes in accounts receivable, were found to significantly influence financial reporting fraud. Pressure and rationalization, though insignificant individually, explained some variation in fraud risk. Internal controls on receivables management are critical. Further research is needed to explore additional variables and alternative fraud-measurement models. Limitations: This study focuses only on the manufacturing sector with a five-year observation period, and the DCHANGE proxy for rationalization may underestimate its true effect. Contributions: The findings offer empirical evidence on the roles of fraud triangle elements in Indonesian manufacturing, providing insights for regulators, auditors, and corporate governance practitioners in fraud prevention.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the effects of net profit margin, return on assets, and earnings per share on the stock prices of consumer goods companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2019–2024. This study also aims to address inconsistencies in previous findings and provide insights for investors and companies to make better financial and investment decisions. Research Methodology: This study employs a quantitative approach with secondary data sourced from the annual financial statements of 36 consumer goods companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) between 2019 and 2024. The analysis uses multiple linear regression to examine the effects of Net Profit Margin (NPM), Return on Assets (ROA), and earnings per share (EPS) on stock prices, with classical assumption tests ensuring data reliability before hypothesis testing. Results: The findings show that NPM and ROA have positive and significant effects on stock prices, while EPS has a significant negative effect. Conclusions: This study concludes that Net Profit Margin (NPM) and Return on Assets (ROA) positively influence stock prices, while earnings per share (EPS) negatively affects them, highlighting the complex relationship between profitability metrics and market performance. Limitations: The study's limitations include the exclusion of other potential influencing factors, such as liquidity, leverage, macroeconomic conditions, and market sentiment, which may also impact stock prices. Contributions: This study contributes to the understanding of how profitability indicators, particularly NPM and ROA, affect stock prices in the consumer goods sector, providing valuable insights for investors and financial analysts.
