Fraud in the company is management's responsibility, but auditors also have the responsibility to find and disclose it by make a plan and audit work to get a reasonable assurance whether financial statements were free from material misstatement, neither caused by error nor by irregularities. The evaluation of organizational condition, company structure and choices made is expected to help disclosing the motivation, opportunity and rationalization beyond the fraud of financial statements.

To avoid the occurrence of fraud arises from motivation and opportunities, management should create a condusive environment in the company. On the other hand, auditors should also improve their competence, especially in fraud detection, by a strategic reasoning in audit risk valuation, audit planning and audit working. Strategic reasoning will be more challenging by the existence of strategic dependence in which the level of auditor's expectation on manager's action is affecting manager's action.
