Download or read book The Effectiveness of Internal Controls in Preventing Fraud in Selected Commercial Banks in Adamawa State written by Ibiso Shirley Daminabo and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research project investigated the effectiveness of internal controls in preventing fraud in selected commercial banks in Adamawa state. Of late commercial banks in Nigeria have been collapsing or taken over by the Central Bank of Nigeria. One of the major reasons of bank failures is fraud. If the internal controls were effective, fraud could not be rampant in commercial banks. The empirical issue that was unclear and merited investigation was whether commercial banks have effective internal controls. To investigate this problem, I selected six commercial in Adamawa State Yola, using convenient sampling method. I distributed questionnaires to bank employee chosen randomly. The major findings showed that banks in Adamawa state have a moderately effective and efficient internal control system, which helps in the prevention of fraud. Also referring to the findings, fraud scarcely occurs in banks in Adamawa State. Based on the findings, the following recommendations were made: Management should put more emphasis on the internal controls, the organizational culture should be established in such a way that it encourages ethical behaviours, and finally employee remunerations should be moderate enough to sustain the financially.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the intermediation, banks mobilize savings from the surplus units of the economy and channel these to the deficit units, particularly private business enterprises for the purpose of expanding their productive capacity (Adeyemo 2012). Levi (2001), asserts that corporate financial scandals in the USA such as Enron and Tyco debacles send shockwaves in the corporate world, regulatory authorities, audit fraternity and the economic world society at large. These have led to the erosion of investor confidence in the financial markets. The Zimbabwe banking sector has had its fair share of financial scandals. The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe Report (RBZ, 2006) examines the 2003-2004 financial turmoil that was caused by many fraud related factors such as the shocking inadequacy of the risk management system, diversion from the core business of the banks to speculative activities contrary to the dictates of the Banking Act Chapter 24:20 and its regulations, creative accounting which increased the audit risk and overstatement of the banks" financial statement (window dressing), high level of non performing insider loans and rapid expansion and chronic liquidity challenges. Oseni (2006) argues that the incessant frauds in the banking industry have resulted in the banking public losing their trust and confidence in the industry. Wells (2004) opined that most accountants and auditors think internal controls are an answer to fraud yet many organizations with these controls still experience fraud. Wells (ibid) further state that fraud prevention and internal control is not the same thing. The Central Bank of Nigeria (2000) reported that by half way mark more cases of fraud and attempted fraud worth N5.4 trillion (USD34.8) million were reported more than that reported in the whole of 2006 which was USD 30.97 million (Adeyemo 2012). The Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency Quarterly Report (2013) reveals that in 2010 Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) received 2624 fraud reports and in 2011 ZRP received 8027 fraud reports, a 205.9% increase. It is indeed worrisome that while banks are constantly trying to grapple with the demand of monetary authorities to recapitalize up to the stipulated minimum standards, fraudsters are always at work threatening and decimating their financial base.

They provide the essential tools to take aspirational goals for fraud prevention and compliance and build them into concrete and effective programs." —From the Foreword by Bradley J. Bondi, Partner, Caldwater, Wickersham & Taft LLP "Executive Roadmap touches all the bases on corporate fraud. The authors – both experienced fraud investigators and federal law enforcement agents – lay out the history and major milestones of corporate fraud, and discuss with precision the key issues facing today’s executives and compliance leaders. The book provides a valuable overview for business leaders looking to develop and implement effective compliance programs and instill a culture of integrity in order to help their organizations defeat the challenges posed by today's sophisticated fraudsters." —Jeffrey Eglash, Senior Counsel, Litigation & Legal Policy, GE "Biegelman and Bartow provide great insight into not just how fraud occurs inside of companies, but why. Preventing fraud requires a solid understanding of both, making this book a must read for any executive who is serious about creating the compliance mechanisms and the corporate culture needed for effective fraud prevention." —Aaron G. Murphy, Partner, Latham & Watkins LLP "Business leaders would be wise to follow the recommendations in this book. Fraud prevention is more than just creating a set of policies. As the subtitle indicates, it is essential to create a culture of compliance. Empty words accomplish nothing. The authors, both experienced fraud examiners, have spent decades investigating fraud, as well as developing strategies to prevent it. This book is an essential tool in creating an anti-fraud environment in any company." —James D. Ratley, CFE, President & CEO, Association of Certified Fraud Examiners "Biegelman and Bartow's Executive Roadmap to Fraud Prevention and Internal Control is an essential guide for all who have an interest in eradicating corporate or institutional fraud. Written by experts in detecting and preventing fraud in its myriad forms, this book is a handy source for those who hope to avoid the predicaments that the authors have seen or in managing the crises that arise when the problems cannot be avoided. The new second edition is an indispensable addition to the libraries of internal compliance and legal officers, and forensic accountants." —Joel M. Cohen, Partner, Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, former New York federal prosecutor and liaison to the French Ministry of Justice and OECD "Biegelman & Bartow's book offers expert guidance to anyone tasked with understanding and tackling fraud in the workplace. Their straightforward approach informs the reader and provides a roadmap and guidance for implementation of an effective fraud mechanism within any organization – small or large.

It is a good resource for both corporate executives and the many professionals assisting corporations to prevent or detect fraud and build a culture of legal compliance." —Barb Dawson, partner with focus on internal investigations and business litigation, Snell & Wilmer LLP "Executive Roadmap to Fraud Prevention and Internal Control: Creating a Culture of Compliance is a truly phenomenal book. Martin Biegelman and Joel Bartow have accomplished an incredible achievement: they have flawlessly bridged the chasm between the theoretical/academic and practical/tangible. This is a volume that should not be on the bookshelf of every manager interested in compliance and fraud prevention (which should be every manager); it should be dog-eared and open on the desktop of every such manager! Kudos to Messrs. Biegelman and Bartow!" —William J. Kresse, M.S., J.D., CPA, CFF, CFE; Associate Professor, Graham School of Management; Director, Center for the Study of Fraud and Corruption, Saint Xavier University, Chicago "Biegelman and Bartow have again provided an invaluable resource for leaders in the corporate world who have responsibility for fraud, integrity, and compliance.

Petersen, Executive Director, Global Security, Ally Financial "From the perspective of an ethics and compliance practitioner, Martin Biegelman's and Joel Bartow's new offering is a Thanksgiving feast.

Fisher, PhD, CPA, Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Accounting and Law, The University at Albany-SUNY "The book's exploration of fraud theories ranging from 'rotten apple' to the 'potato chip' (can't eat just one!), provides useful examination of the psychology of corporate fraud that explains its recurring nature and offers clues to creating a fraud resistant culture." —Zachary W. Carter, Partner and head of the Trial Group, Dorsey & Whitney LLP and former United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York
