ABSTRACT
This work is all about fraud prevention, detection and control in the banking sector of Nigeria. This study has Habb Nigeria bank Limited, Enugu as a case study.
From the study, such factors like poor staffing, poor remuneration, weak internal control among other factors contributed immensely to the incidence of fraud in banks. The study revealed that the most effective way of preventing fraud in banks is through an effective in-built control mechanism. This internal control mechanism is designed in such a way to designate responsibilities so that a staff’s activities are checked by another which is in turn checked by a higher officer. This calls for a strong and independent inspection and audit department in every bank comprising of staff with impeccable integrity.
This study applied necessary data collection techniques such as questionnaires.
