FINANCIAL TARGETS AND EXTERNAL PRESSURE ON FINANCIAL STATEMENT FRAUD: FEMALE FINANCIAL EXPERTISE AS THE MODERATING VARIABLE
Abstract
This research aims to analyze the influence of financial targets and external pressure on financial statement fraud and the effect of female financial expertise as a moderating variable. The object of this research is banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2018–2022 period. Based on purposive sampling, 99 observations were obtained that met the criteria. The analysis technique used was PLS-SEM Warp PLS 8.0. This research shows that financial targets and external pressure positively and significantly affect financial statement fraud. The moderating effect of female financial expertise strengthens the influence of financial targets on financial statement fraud. The moderating effect of female financial expertise weakens the influence of external pressure on financial statement fraud. Theoretically, this research contributes to the study of agency theory. Practically, this research is useful for companies to monitor the financial skills of female directors of companies whose expertise includes a CPA or MBA degree, which can reduce the probability of financial statement fraud.
