Project Study at our Chair

Hop on board of a project study on accounting fraud detection. These days, sophisticated fraud prediction models learn to differentiate between fraudulent and non-fraudulent firm-year observations based on training datasets for US listed firms. We are working on a project that applies such models far out of sample, i.e., on cases like Wirecard. The project study team will use news crawling and natural language processing to build up a rich dataset of accounting fraud instances outside the US. The suggested workflow will be important for regulating agencies like the BaFin.
