Abstract

Fraud and financial irregularities in the banking sector can have severe detrimental impacts on the economy and public trust. Recent high-profile fraud cases in Nigerian banks highlight the need for effective mechanisms to prevent and detect such issues (Anagbogu& Shitu, 2021). Auditing serves a critical role in controlling fraud and upholding the integrity of financial reporting. The aim of this study is to examine the impact of audit in controlling fraud and other financial irregularities in commercial banks in Nigeria, using a case study of Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) and Access Bank.
