Jones Accrual Model

The Jones Accrual Model, developed by Jennifer J. Jones in 1991, is a statistical method for detecting earnings management in financial statements by isolating abnormal accruals. It distinguishes between normal business accruals and potentially manipulated accruals, helping auditors and analysts identify potential financial statement fraud.
