dc.description.abstractABSTRACT This research is focused on fraud detecting methods used in the Nigerian Banking Industry. The main objectives of the study is to identify the various means of defrauding Banks, to identify the causes of frauds in Banks, to determine the effects, magnitude and frequencies of fraud in Banks, and to suggest measures that can be taken to prevent and or control fraud in the Banking sector. In a bid to effectively carry out this study, some Banks were randomly selected in Kano metropolis namely First Bank Plc.Union Bank Plc, United Bank for Africa, Afri Bank Plc and Zenith Bank Plc. Two methods of data collection were used for this study. The primary source of data included questionnaires and direct observation on some of the activities of the members of staff of the Banks and their customers. The Secondary source of data included text books, internet, financial times, Banks annual report of fraudulent theft, alert journals, annual reports of Central Bank of Nigeria, and Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation. From the analysis of the data collected, it was discovered that ineffective and inefficient control was the major cause of fraud in the Nigerian Banking sector. The data also revealed that fraud contributes significantly to the distress in the Nigerian Banking industry. I recommend that effective and efficient management team must be put in place in order to minimize fraud in the Nigerian Banking sector.en_US
