ABSTRACT
This work is concerned with Fraud Detection and Control as a means of enhancing profitability in Commercial Banks. The banking sector has become one of the most critical sectors in the economy with wide effect on the level and direction of economic growth and transformation and on such economic variables as the rate of unemployment and inflation which directly affect the lives of our people. Today, the very integrity and survivability of these laudable functions of Nigerian banks have been deteriorated in view of incessant frauds and accounting scandals. The entire world has become increasingly aware of the destructive effect of a lack of accountability and transparency in both public and private life. This awareness is so pervasive throughout the world that governments, business organizations and non-governmental organizations alike are involved in crusades to promote accountability and transparency and prevent corrupt practices in all its ramifications.
