The design of the audit program so that it can be used to adequately respond the fraud risk is one of the most important activities that auditors do in their investigations. Paying attention to the most important dimensions and risk factors of fraud can help auditors in this process. In this regard, in this research, the importance of the dimensions and risk factors of fraud in the adjustment of the audit program has been investigated. For this purpose, the fraud Pentagon model has been used. This model includes five dimensions of pressure/motivation, opportunity, rationalization, capability and arrogance.

Also, Discretionary Accruals is estimatedusing the Jones model (1991). The results of investigating a sample of153 firms during the years of 1386 to 1392 shows that interactioneffect of highly valued equity and audit quality proxies is positive andsignificant. This means that, magnitude of the negative effect of auditquality on the discretionary accruals in the highly valued firmsdecreases and high quality auditors not reducing amount ofDiscretionary Accruals in highly valued firms. Thus, in thenegotiation between auditors and managers about preparation offinancial statement in the highly valued equity, managers by using ofbetter information about its firm can success on auditors.
