False accounting involves an employee or an organisation altering, destroying or defacing any account; or presenting accounts from an individual or an organisation so they do not reflect their true value or financial activities.
This type of fraud can include overstating assets and/or understating liabilities. False accounting can take place for a number of reasons, for example:
To obtain additional financing from a bank To report unrealistic profits To inflate the share price To hide losses To attract customers by appearing to be more successful than you are To achieve a performance-related bonus To cover up theft. Whatever the reasons for false accounting, they are all motivated by the need to falsify records, alter figures or possibly keep two sets of financial accounts.
An account can be a statement. Giving a false accounts of facts like the law, and how it is applicable can be false accounting
