This study surveyed views of Jordanian auditors over the relative importance of 20 fraud risk
factors as indicators of the possibility of financial statement fraud, and the modifications to audit
programmes necessary in the presence of each of these factors. In doing so, views were surveyed
from Jordanian auditors with experience in risk analysis and audit programme design who work for
the 12 largest audit firms in Jordan, 10 of whom have affiliations with international audit firms.
