CHAPTER ONE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The commercial world today has been devastated by random breaches of business ethics. This has resulted to rampant occurrence of white collar crimes committed mostly by top and highly educated professional personnel, these crimes are sometimes euphemistically dubbed, executive dishonesty crimes like improper waiver of interest on loans, fraudulent false accounting, falsification, computer fraud, dishonesty, classification of debts as bad debt or irrecoverable, non-disclosure of vital interest by executive, and other financial malpractices, fall into this category.
Furthermore, the government has responded by churning out laws with constant regularity in a bid to meet the challenges posed by these problems. One of such problems is the incidence of fraud in financial institutions especially Nigeria banks. This has attracted at least three major legislation in the past few years. All these relevant enactments will be examined in this project.
It is a notorious fact that frauds are mostly masterminded by insiders, at times in concert with outsiders. They are mostly discovered by tip offs from other staff who feel left out or by accident. Rarely do normal official checks reveal such earth shattering fraudulent scams that are big concern of the financial world.
Moreso, there is need to arrive at an acceptable constitution for the word “fraud” and to deepen our understanding by paying some respect to the statutory construction of financial institution like Nigeria banks.
Having dealt with the general situation of things ion our banking industries, the research work is therefore aimed at pointing out the major causes of fraud in Nigeria banks etc. effects on the Nigeria economy commercial world, individuals especially the depositors (customers of the banks) after the research must have been carried out the above, the researcher then recommended the measures to be taken in order to prevent and minimize the incidence of fraud in Nigeria banks. It should be noted that no bank, big or small is immune from fraudulent particles. However, bankers should have it as the back of their minds that dignity and hard work are not the only thing required but integrity is also required.
1.2 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
The objective of this study is to enable us know that for any financial institution like bank to be on the move in respect of growth ion the economy, there is need to work out possible solutions that can put a stop to fraudulent practices or bring it to a minimal level
In a nutshell, this project is designed for the following.
1.3 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The study enhances various examinations of the techniques usually employed by the fraudsters. It is structured for all classes who may want to invest in banking industry especially in Nigeria. Bad performance and incompetent discharge of duty as a result of this category’s activities (who are employed by the management) when properly examined will be a contributory to the growth in banking industry. When all measures are strictly adhered to it would go a long ways in bringing fraud to a minimal.
The research work is to enable all and sundry such as: the shareholders, the insurance companies and the management to benefit, the customers so as to rebuild and reverse the already lost confidence of the public and the parties involved in the banking industry. This will enhance rapid growth in the banking industry which will enhance rapid growth in the banking industry which will in-turn enhance the development of this nation Nigeria
1.4 STATEMENT OF THE STUDY
The banking industry seems to be s focal point of fraudsters. It is s notorious fact that frauds are master minded by the banker, at time in concert with outsiders. It is incredible that bankers whose watch word should be “Transparent honesty” have turned to become looters and by so doing, creating fear in the minds of the public.
Newspaper pages are jain-picked with reports ob fraud cases in banking industry, however, most computer frauds cases like other frauds are not usually reported by banks and this may be due to the embarrassment it would cause the institution, the loss of public confidence as well as the difficult of prosecution of such cases.
It is estimates that not less than average amount of one million naira per working day of the financial year is made away by fraudsters. The amount lost is quite a set back to our economy. The management of these respective banks have taken cognizance of these fraud issues yet they have not worked out a permanent solutions to this problems.
It is so painful that we do not really know who is trust in the banking industry since they have failed many depositors, shareholders and a lot of non-bankers have been discouraged from banking their money because of the fear that the bank may collapse at any time. They prefer keeping their idle cash with them instead of banking with people dubious characters.
In other words, frauds frustrate the banking habit of the society. Fraud leads to stunted growth of banking industries due to great losses involved it could also hinder commercial growth fraud deteriorates any nation economy development

1.6 SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
In whatever step one takes or makes in life there is the possibility of obstruction or oppositions right there at the corner raising its head against every step made. That is why this study will not be left out in encountering problems in trying to achieve success. Some of these problems includes
Lack of corporations and no response from the commercial banks executives as regards to the information needed from them. They were very conservative in terms of giving out information in respect of fraud which may not expose most of the fraudulent practices. This they claim is done to protect the image of the bank some of these banks said that non of their branches has ever been involved in fraudulent act. Again thyme factor was another problem which is worthy of note. The bank / visited in Ogwashi – uku in Delta state (First bank of Nigeria PLC) was unable to supply me with enough information because of time constraint. Time again was not on my side because of the semester academic exercise I decided to utilize the available information I have for this research. Another pressing problem was that of finance, for this study to be in full swing money is needed to carry on the research effectively. Some items of which money was required were: Transportation in search of resources materials, making of photocopies of materials especially bulky and voluminous ones and the production of the project itself
