1. DSRI = Days Sales in Receivables Index

Measured as the ratio of Revenue in Total Receivables in year t to year t-1.

A large increase in DSR could be indicative of revenue inflation.

DSRI	=	(Receivables_t / Revenue_t)	/	(Receivables_t-1 / Revenue_t-1)
	=	(2.376 / 13.628)	/	(2.909 / 16.188)
	=	0.174347	/	0.179701
	=	0.9702

Measured as the ratio of gross margin in year t-1 to gross margin in year t.

Gross margin has deteriorated when this index is above 1. A firm with poorer prospects is more likely to manipulate earnings.

GMI	=	GrossMargin_t-1	/	GrossMargin_t
	=	(GrossProfit_t-1 / Revenue_t-1)	/	(GrossProfit_t / Revenue_t)
	=	(7.541 / 16.188)	/	(6.674 / 13.628)

	=	(0.792 / (0.792 + 3.622))	/	(0.869 / (0.869 + 2.523))
	=	0.179429	/	0.256191
