Abstract
Banks play a very significant role and are a key infrastructure of the
financial sector of any economy. The efficiency of the banking sector
in a way determines the reliability of the economy.
The banking business is replete with lots of risks. Of all the
risks faced by banks, fraud risks are the most pervasive and most
destabilizing to banks. Fraud results in the largest source of losses to
banks in Nigeria and also the largest single cause of bank failures.
Because of the magnitude of these losses and the level of their
impact on banking operations is the only main reason for this
research study. Recently, the incidence of frauds has got the
attention of all and sundry and has been the focus of the
government’s attention. Therefore, the study aimed at examining
how computers can be used for detecting fraud in the banks
operations especially towards enhancing fraud minimization in Nigeria
using UBA Plc. as a case study.
Together, the data for this study, both interviews and
questionnaire methods were used. And the data collected was
analyzed using simple statistic techniques of percentages, averages,
etc. the information generated was used in formulating
recommendations that are intended to help banks appreciate the use
of computers in their banking operations as deliberate effective
measures towards minimizing or preventing fraud in bank operations
in the banking industry in Nigeria.
It is hope that when such measures are implemented will
enhance banks stability survival and more profitability in Nigeria.
