The research methodology used in this study is purposive sampling which produces 33 samples of companies for 5 years of research in the 2017-2021 period. The research model uses a panel of regression data that is processed using E-Views. The findings and contributions of this study are that corporate governance has a significant negative effect on fraud, income smoothing has a significant positive effect on fraud and company age has a significant negative effect on fraud.
