The effect of big data competencies and tone at the top on internal auditors fraud detection effectiveness
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Financial reports provide information about a company's assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flow. This information can be used by various parties such as investors, creditors, government and management to make business decisions and assess company performance. Companies in obtaining good financial reports need to detect fraudulent financial statements first. Financial statement fraud can be detrimental to investors and creditors because it gives a wrong picture of a company's financial performance. This study aims to examine the effect of big data competence and the tone of the top internal auditors on the detection of financial statement fraud, as well as to mediate the effect of big data competence on the detection of financial statement fraud through self-efficacy. This research uses a sample of 183 respondents who are internal auditors in companies in Indonesia. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results of the study show that big data competence has no significant effect on the detection of financial statement fraud, but has a positive and significant effect on self-efficacy. In addition, the internal auditor's tone of the top also has a positive and significant effect on the detection of financial statement fraud. Finally, self-efficacy partially mediates the relationship between big data competence and fraud detection of financial statements. This research provides important implications for practitioners and decision makers in developing internal auditor competence in the field of big data and paying attention to tone of the top as an important factor in detecting fraudulent financial statements. In addition, this research also contributes to strengthening the understanding of the relationship between big data competence, tone of the top, self-efficacy, and fraud detection of financial statements in the Indonesian context.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
