Abstract

This study aims to investigate whether a statistically significant relationship between fraudulent financial reporting and factors of pressure, opportunities, and rationalizations is existed within the Syrian audit environment. To achieve its objectives, it has been designed in a hybrid approach that combines quantitative research tools of survey questionnaire and interviews, and qualitative exploratory tools such as brainstorming and focus groups including personal interview as well. The frauds risk factors that are potentially existed within the audit environment have been derived by way of interviewing Syrian auditors. In addition, the questionnaire survey has gathered auditors’ views. The collected data is analyzed using spearman correlation tests and multiple linear regression analysis. It has been evident that a statistically significant correlation is exited between the fraudulent financial reporting and each of the fraud risk factors: pressure, opportunities, and rationalizations.
