The Beneish M-Score statistical score that uses financial ratios to identify whether a company has manipulated its earnings.
The Beneish M-Score outlines eight financial ratios required to calculate the score:
1) Days Sales in Receivables Index (DSRI)
DSRI = (Net Receivablest / Salest) / (Net Receivablest-1 / Salest-1)
2) Gross Margin Index (GMI)
GMI = [(Salest-1 - COGSt-1) / Salest-1] / [(Salest - COGSt) / Salest]
3) Asset Quality Index (AQI)
AQI = [(Total Assets - Current Assetst - PP&Et) / Total Assetst] / [(Total Assets - Current Assetst-1 - PP&Et-1) / Total Assetst-1]
4) Sales Growth Index (SGI)
SGI = Salest / Salest-1
5) Depreciation Index (DEPI)
DEPI = (Depreciationt-1/ (PP&Et-1 + Depreciationt-1)) / (Depreciationt / (PP&Et + Depreciationt))
6) Sales General and Administrative Expenses Index (SGAI)
SGAI = (SG&A Expenset / Salest) / (SG&A Expenset-1 / Salest-1)
7) Leverage Index (LVGI)
LVGI = [(Current Liabilitiest + Total Long Term Debtt) / Total Assetst] / [(Current Liabilitiest-1 + Total Long Term Debtt-1) / Total Assetst-1]
8) Total Accruals to Total Assets (TATA)
TATA = (Income from Continuing Operationst - Cash Flows from Operationst) / Total Assetst
After computing the eight variables outlined above, they can be weighted together using the following multivariate model to calculate the score:
Beneish M-Score =
-4.84
(+) 0.92 × DSRI
(+) 0.528 × GMI
(+) 0.404 × AQI
(+) 0.892 × SGI
(+) 0.115 × DEPI
(+) -0.172 × SGAI
(+) 4.679 × TATA
(+) -0.327 × LVGI
