ABSTRACT

Fraud is an inherent vice. It has been on from time

immemorial even before the invention of money. However, in our yet

developing world with the quest to become rich quick on the increase,

fraud is becoming rather rampant.
Banks deal essentially in cash and

other financial instruments and because of that it has been exposed to

greater risk of fraud. The attention of many have been drawn to the

banks either directly or indirectly. Most people/workers look up to the

banks to rise up to their problems. With such motives some workers go to

the banks disappointed. Not getting so much as thought, most of them

decide to make away with what they can at the slightest opportunity.

   

Nigeria’s depressed economy also comes to mind. Fraudulent persons

often connive with bank officials to dupe the banks. Telex fraud is also

a new dimension.
In writing this project I am very conscious of the

much work that has been done in this very project. I am going into this

research bearing the following objectives in mind, determining actually

whether financial fraud exist in Nigerian banks, verifying the effects

of financial fraud in banks, finding out how computer aid in the

commission, detection and prevention of financial fraud, reviewing the

work that has already been done in area of financial fraud.
The

project will be based on both primary and secondary data interview

questions were used to ascertain the true instruments of the analysis.

Under secondary data magazines, news papers and published books were

used. Responses to the questionnaires were analyzed in percentages, this

will enable the researcher to assign and give percentage weight to each

alternative in order to make a good comparative analysis and to choose

the alternative with the highest percentage.
