Prevention Of Fraud In Nigerian Financial Institutions (a Case Study Of U.b.a)

ABSTRACT

This work was designed to study the prevention of fraud in Nigeria financial institutions, with particular reference to banks (UBA Plc). Banks deal essentially in cash instrument and other documents which are generally of a negotiable and easily transferable in nature. Hence it is very appropriate to say that the exposure of banks to both internal and external fraud is very great. This practice is very common to area involving cash, cheque and fund transfer operation. Therefore that was the reason the researcher carried out this study in order to find out the causes of fraud and how to prevent it in Nigerian financial institutions.

From the various articles and journals the researcher read on fraud, causes, methods, detection and prevention of fraud in Banking industries and financial institutions, it has roused my deep interest in this project topic. It is therefore my pleasure to carryout this on “prevention of fraud in Nigerian financial institutions” using UBA Plc as a case study.Fraud cannot be eradicated. It is true that all thieves do not think alike so every fraud has its own unique approach, hence there may be no unique approach to forestall fraud. The project work contained five Chapters.In order to obtain as much relevant information on this study as possible the researcher used primary and secondary sources of data collection. The primary data: The researcher carried out a direct interview with the management and staff of UBA plc station Road Okpara Avenue Enugu.The secondary data: The secondary data was obtained from textbooks, magazines, journals, commercial banks Annual Report/newspapers, dictionaries e.t.c.The instrument used in data collection was mainly questionnaire.
