Abstract
Purpose and Methodology: The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of groupthink and whether or not it impacts fraudulent financial reporting.

Findings: The findings indicate that groupthink is very prevalent in business and a contributing factor in some situations to fraudulent financial reporting.
