摘要:AbstractThe purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between corporate governance structure and the likelihood of fraudulent financial reporting. Likelihood of fraudulent financial reporting is based on an integration of Beneish M-score model and Altman's Z-score model. These relationships are examined based on content analysis of annual reports of 227 Public Listed Companies in Malaysia for the year 2010-2011. Results of this study provide evidence that the effectiveness of corporate governance structure reduces the likelihood of fraudulent financial reporting. These results indicate that effective corporate governance structure is paramount in enhancing the credibility of financial reporting.
