To further academic research, facilitate the development of auditing standards, and inform
regulators of insights from academic literature, in 2006 and 2011, the Auditing Section of
the American Accounting Association (AAA) sponsored a series of literature syntheses.1
As a part of that series, Hogan, Rezaee, Riley, and Velury (2008) and Trompeter, Carpenter, Desai,
Jones, and Riley (2013) examined anti-fraud literature, focusing primarily on research that has been
published in accounting journals with the objective of identifying research implications likely to
have a more immediate impact on auditing and accounting standard setting and practice. Further,
those two papers focus on fraudulent financial reporting.
