ABSTRACT

Inaccurate  financial   reporting   is  a  major  source  of  distribution  in financial   statements  of public  companies  such  as  commercial  banks.   This research  was  undertaken  to  appraise  the  causes  of  inaccurate financial reporting by public companies.  The finding reveals that the leading causes of inaccurate  financial   reporting  were  inaccurate  structure  to scrutinise  and review financial  statements,  inadequate presentation  and  disclosure  of all facts  and: lack  of  independence  and  competence  by external auditors.  The empirical  evidence  revealed  that independence and competence of external auditors and audit committee significantly enhanced the integrity offinancial reporting and corporate govern4:MlJll,failure  significantly contributes to inaccurate  financial  reporting. It was recommended that external auditors and audit   committee  should   be  made  more   independent   and  professionally competent,   and banks should strength the control measure for  reviewing and authorizingfinancial   statement before publication.
