In the broadest sense, a fraud is a deception made for personal gain, although it has a more specific legal meaning, the exact details varying between jurisdictions. Many hoaxes are fraudulent, although those not made for personal gain are not best described in this way. Not all frauds are hoaxes - electoral fraud, for example. Besides business fraud permeates many areas of life, including art, archaeology and science. In the broad legal sense a fraud is any crime or civil wrong for gain that utilizes some deception practiced on the victim as its principal method. The above answer is more than a "broadest sense". It is so basic that it is incorrect in my opinion. Fraud is the knowingly false misrepresentation of a material fact that induces another to rely upon it to their detriment. It is not restricted to personal gain, as it can be corporate gain. Deception is in and of itself not fraudulent. It has to be knowingly false msirepresentation, that the other party relies upon to their detriment wherein otherwise they would not have acted.

California PC 532 a), as it is commonly known, covers acts of fraud or the intent to defraud by means of "false pretenses," which means a person knowingly makes a material misstatement of some fact in writing that results in them obtaining some benefit of credit, thus allowing them obtain money or property, or the labor or services of another individual that they would not have received if not for the material misstatement. If the material misstatement is not made in writing, the prosecution must have two witnesses who corroborate that the defendant made a false statement. The punishment is a misdemeanor if the person personally and knowingly makes a misstatement in writing, confirms a misstatement that has been made by someone else knowing that it was a misstatement, knows that a misstatement has been made and makes the same misstatement in writing. The punishment is a felony if the person fraudulently misrepresents the identity of another person.
Misstatement of inventory is a common means of financial statement fraud because it directly impacts a company's cost of goods sold and overall profitability, making it easier to manipulate reported earnings. Inventory is often subject to subjective judgments regarding valuation, obsolescence, and estimation, providing opportunities for intentional misrepresentation. Additionally, the complexity of inventory accounting and the potential for pressure to meet financial targets can lead management to engage in fraudulent practices. This misstatement can significantly mislead stakeholders about a company's financial health.
The five elements of fraud typically include: a false representation or misstatement, knowledge of its falsity (intent to deceive), reliance by the victim on the false information, resulting harm or damage to the victim, and the fraudulent act being committed with intent. Each element must be established to prove fraud in a legal context. These components highlight the deceptive nature of fraud and the consequences it imposes on victims.
Auditors are supposed to plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements presented by management are free of material misstatement that are caused by error or fraud. They only provide reasonable assurance not a guarantee that there is no misstatement or fraud. If they auditor is auditing a public company they also have the responsibility to evaluate internal controls. In other words the auditor plans and audit, gathers evidence, and then makes a report stating whether or not they believe the financial statements are presented fairly.
Probably not but in my opinion it is rubbish and annoying.
