ABSTRACT

In recent years, the cases of financial fraud within China’s listed companies in the U.S. have increased. Financial fraud usually fails to reflect the normal profitability of enterprises and harms the interests of small and medium investors, disturbing the normal operation of the market as a result. The goal of this study was to examine whether M-Score and F-Score models are fit for U.S.-listed Chinese Companies and to find clues to financial fraud of Chinese enterprises. To this end, we applied M-Score and F-Score models to 2 groups (14 samples) of companies from 5 different industries. There is a 13-year span between the earliest and latest allegations of financial fraud. The sample companies that have been caught in fraud were chosen to be the experimental group (EG) and the companies without committing fraud were selected to be the control group (CG). The findings suggest that M-Score model fits the U.S.-listed Chinese companies, while there is insufficient evidence to prove that F-Score model can be applied.
