Abstract: ASSESSMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT FRAUD AND FORENSIC ANALYSIS
This research assesses the role of forensic analysis in detecting and preventing financial statement fraud in publicly traded companies in Lagos. The study's objectives are to evaluate the effectiveness of forensic analysis techniques, assess their impact on financial integrity, and identify the challenges faced during implementation. A survey design was utilized, gathering data from 250 forensic accountants and financial auditors, derived using Taro Yamane's formula. A case study of a leading publicly traded company in Lagos provided comprehensive insights. The reliability coefficient score was 0.90. Findings reveal that advanced forensic analysis techniques, such as ratio analysis, trend analysis, and digital forensics, significantly enhance the detection and prevention of financial statement fraud, thereby improving financial integrity and investor confidence. However, challenges such as high implementation costs, data access issues, and evolving fraud techniques were identified. Recommendations include investing in advanced training for forensic accountants, adopting adaptive forensic analysis tools, and integrating forensic analysis techniques with overall financial management practices to effectively combat financial statement fraud.
