By exploring the possibilities of applying Benford\u2019s Law as a useful instrument for detecting data manipulation, this instrument is applied to the Czech Republic, particularly in the monthly data of exports and imports for the period 1996-2012, which make up the trade balance. We use the Z test as the test criterion and the first and second digits are tested. The primary aim of the article is to summarize the current theory regarding Benford\u2019s Law and the practical applications of this theory to the governmental macroeconomic data."@en . "1"^^ .
