PROPOSAL

Detection and prevention of financial fraud in Nigeria banks.

Due to recent development in our banking industry of which I feel that this is a topic that is worth writing on.

1. I want to venture into the activities of our commercial bank and

2. What fraud has been like in recent times. Even though our commercial bank's are being computerized, I want to see.

3. How computers aid in committing or detection and prevention of financial fraud. I also intend to determine actually if financial fraud exist in Nigeria banks.

4. I wish to find out the types and causes of financial fraud and also evaluate management control in detection and prevention of financial fraud.

This term paper will be based mainly on secondary data because of our limitations and scope of study. If time will not be enough, I may not interview some banks staff as I should be expected.

I believe by this time this research work will be over, it will help everyone to encover fraud and resist it where it is been practiced.
