        This research has been conducted with the purpose of investigating the effect of dimensions of emotional intelligence and financial intelligence on the dimensions of auditor’s performance with the focal correlation coefficient approach. This study is applicable in terms of objective and concerning data collection method is descriptive correlational. The statistical population of this study is auditors working in all auditing firms that are members of the Society of Certified Public Accountants operating in Tehran. 250 subjects were selected employing cluster random sampling method. Data collection tools were standard questionnaires. Content validity and the results of the measurement model were cited to evaluate the validity and reliability of the measurement tools. To analyze the data, focal correlation coefficient using SPSS software was employed. The results of the hypothesis test indicated that: the first, second and third focal correlation coefficients were reported to be significant at the 99% confidence level, which shows the existence of three sets of dependent variables. The focal correlation function the significance of the three functions extracted at the 99% confidence level. Each focal variable has a coefficient of determination and the first focal correlation is more important than the other correlations. The first focal correlation with a coefficient of determination of 0.945 has been able to explain 94% of the variance. The total coefficient of determination shows the amount of changes. This value is equal to 0.980, which indicates that the dimensions of emotional intelligence and financial intelligence are explained by 0.98% by the dimensions of the auditor’s performance. The most common criterion for testing the significance level of the first focal correlation is the Wilks’ statistic criterion, which according to the obtained significance level (0.000), it is indicated that the three sets of variables are related to each other.

        The existence and persistence of fraud in financial statements can have adverse impact on the sustainable development of the capital markets as well as the financial health of companies. Using conventional audit procedures which is applied to prevent and detect fraudulent financial statements, auditors fail to cope with emerging accounting frauds. This can be due to many reasons, such as the lack of the required data mining knowledge, the complexity and infrequency of financial frauds, and the auditors without much experience. Accordingly, due to importance of identifying fraud in capital market, different types of statistical and machine learning based models were examined to establish a rigorous and effective model to detect financial statements fraud in this study. For this purpose, 20 variables in the form of the pentagonal fraud with emphasis on the structure of internal controls (pressure, opportunity, justification, capability, arrogance and internal control structure) were used from 166 manufacturing companies listed on Tehran stock exchange over the period 2009-2018. Based on the statistical indices obtained, machine learning based models exhibited higher predictive ability and accuracy than statistical based models in predicting financial statement fraud. The results also showed that C5, CHAID and C&R decision tree models were highly accurate in prediction of fraudulent data presented in fnancial statement. Accordingly, the efficacy of combination of CHAID, C5 and C&R decision tree algorithms which had the highest accuracy in prediction of fraudulent financial reporting was examined. The high accuracy of 92.61% of the combination of these algorithms in fraud prediction shows that data mining methods based on machine learning models and especially their combination can be used successfully in fnancial statement fraud prediction.
