This study aims to develop a fraud disclosure model for corruption cases in the local government environment in Sulawesi through forensic accounting and investigative audits with internal auditor skepticism as moderating. Forensic accounting and investigative auditing are a series of relationships in the examination of fraud. Fraud becomes the main object that is fought in forensic accounting and is proven in investigative audits.
