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)
	=	(41043.762 / 204498.79)	/	(39491.43 / 200063.416)
	=	0.200704	/	0.197395
	=	1.0168

2. GMI = Gross Margin Index

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)
	=	(32591.465 / 200063.416)	/	(34292.268 / 204498.79)
	=	0.162906	/	0.167689
	=	0.9715

3. AQI = Asset Quality Index

AQI	=	(1 - (CurrentAssets_t + PPE_t) / TotalAssets_t)	/	(1 - (CurrentAssets_t-1 + PPE_t-1) / TotalAssets_t-1)
	=	(1 - (118392.661 + 51023.856) / 205292.18)	/	(1 - (112160.691 + 47160.634) / 195130.872)
	=	0.174754	/	0.183516
	=	0.9523

4. SGI = Sales Growth Index

Ratio of Revenue in year t to sales in year t-1.

Sales growth is not itself a measure of manipulation. However, growth companies are likely to find themselves under pressure to manipulate in order to keep up appearances.

	=	Revenue_t	/	Revenue_t-1
	=	204498.79	/	200063.416
	=	1.0222

5. DEPI = Depreciation Index

Measured as the ratio of the rate of Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization in year t-1 to the corresponding rate in year t.

DEPI greater than 1 indicates that assets are being depreciated at a slower rate. This suggests that the firm might be revising useful asset life assumptions upwards, or adopting a new method that is income friendly.

DEPI	=	(Depreciation_t-1 / (Depreciaton_t-1 + PPE_t-1))	/	(Depreciation_t / (Depreciaton_t + PPE_t))
	=	(5704.15 / (5704.15 + 47160.634))	/	(6191.164 / (6191.164 + 51023.856))
	=	0.107901	/	0.108209

	=	(2389.952 - 0	-	5367.374)	/	205292.18
