Abstract

Because of the industrial characteristics like complex purchasing and selling links in manufacturing companies, it is relatively easy for them to conduct financial fraud. Taking A-share manufacturing companies from 2009 to 2021 as an observation sample, this paper constructed a financial fraud detection feature set of manufacturing companies from five dimensions. By using 5 algorithms to build detection models and calculating the metrics, research found that XGBoost, LightGBM and Random Forest have better predictive performance. And the further parameterized features importance showed that indicators such as “ROA”, “Income receivable” and “Internal control index” have a significant guiding role in identifying financial fraud of Manufacturing Listed Corporations.
