Abstract
There are many accounting fraud case in China's securities market, such as Lantian, Yinguangxia and Kelon Group, while the United States has exposed Enron, WorldCom, Xerox and a series of listed company's accounting fraud incidents. The impact of these events on the global economy is very large. The increasing spread of accounting fraud not only brought great losses to investors and creditors, but also sparked crisis of confidence in capital markets. How to resolve accounting fraud? This is not an easy question. If the accounting information users can effectively identify the accounting fraud, the hazard of accounting fraud against the relevant groups will be greatly reduced. How to effectively identify the accounting fraud is the focus of this study.
In this paper, I take Kelon as a case of accounting fraud to have in-depth analysis and get the corresponding countermeasures. This article points out that accounting fraud is from management privilege in order to obtain some kind of unfair or illegal benefits, taking the behaviour of deliberate deception or www.51lunwen.org concealing major accounting information, with intent, continuity, and other characteristics of the seriousness of the consequences. On the basis of Kelon studies using a variety of accounting malpractice. We need to discover fraud through in-depth analysis, and do greater effort to identify fraud and find the motives of accounting fraud.
Based on case studies, this paper presents the Internal and External countermeasures from the roots of fraud. We should focus on the incentive to establish a scientific mechanism, supplemented by an appropriate incentive equity incentive compensation system, and to reduce fraud proceeds. And then, we should strengthen the internal governance and optimized ownership structure to strengthen the independence of the board of supervisors and strengthen internal controls and internal audit. Again, we should improve the external monitoring system to increase legal sanctions efforts to crack down on fraud.
