This research was conducted to examine whether financial ratios can detect fraudulent financial reporting. The financial ratios analyzed are Days' Sales Outstanding Growth, Cash Flow from Operating Divided by Net Income, and Accounts Receivable Divided by Sales. The target population in this study was State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) in Indonesia, particularly the Cluster of Insurance Services Industry and Pension Funds. The research data were analyzed by multiple linear regression method using eviews program. The results showed that the ratio of Days' Sales Outstanding Growth and the ratio of Accounts Receivable Divided by Sales had an effect on Fraudulent Financial Reporting.
