EXCERPT FROM THE STUDY
Fraud is perhaps the most fatal of all the risks confronting banks. The enormity of bank frauds in Nigeria can be inferred from its value, volume and actual loss. A good number of banks’ frauds never get reported to the appropriate authorities, rather they are suppressed partly because of the personalities involved or because of concern over the negative image effect that disclosure may cause if information is leaked to the banking public the banks’ customers may lose confidence in the bank and this could cause a setback in the growth of the bank iii particular.
Fraud leads to loss of money, which belong to either the bank or customers. Such losses may be absorbed by the profits for the affected trading period and this consequently reduces the amount of profit, which would have-.been available for distribution to shareholders. Losses from fraud which are absorbed to equity capital of the bank impairs the bank’s financial health and constraints its ability to extend loans and advances for profitable operations. In extreme cases rampant and large incidents of fraud could lead to a bank’s failure. Fraud can increase the operating cost of a bank because of the added cost of installing the necessary machinery for its prevention, detection and protection of assets. Moreover, devoting valuable time to safeguarding its asset from fraudulent men distracts management. Overall, this unproductive diversion of resources always reduces outputs and low profits which in turn could retard the growth of the bank. It also leads to a diminishing effect on the asset quality of banks. The problem is more dangerous when compounded by insider loan abuses. Indeed, the first generation of liquidated banks by NDIC was largely a consequence of frauds perpetrated through insider loan abuses. If this problem is not adequately handled, it could lead to distress and bank failures.
