Abstract: The main goal of the article is to discuss methods based on the Euclidean distance which can be used during the identification of financial frauds. The methods enable assessing data conformity to Benford's Law, within the primary tests of this law. After discussing techniques based on the Euclidean distance, an example of accounting fraud detection is presented.
