Sampling was done using the purposive sampling method, so 11 companies were obtained that met the research criteria and 33 observers.

The results of this study indicate that the nature of industry has no positive but significant effect on financial statement fraud, the financial target variable has no effect and is insignificant to financial statement fraud, and the financial stability variable has a positive and significant effect on financial statement fraud.
