Abstract : This study investigates the influence of faithful representation and fair value measurement on the detection of fraud in fixed asset management, with internal control as a moderating variable. Focusing on manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2021 and 2023, the research employs a quantitative approach using panel data regression models. Results indicate that neither faithful representation nor fair value measurement significantly affect fraud detection when considered individually. However, internal control shows a significant moderating effect, enhancing fraud detection capabilities. Despite this, interaction tests reveal that internal control does not effectively moderate the relationship between the two independent variables and fraud detection. The findings underscore the importance of integrated financial transparency and robust internal control systems in mitigating asset-related fraud. This research contributes to accounting literature, offers practical insights for corporate governance, and highlights policy implications for regulatory bodies.

Keywords : Faithful Representation, Disclosure and Measurement, Fraud Detection, Fixed Assets, Internal Control, Corporate Governance, and Financial Transparency.
