Abstract: The objective of this study is to examine Bank fraud and internal control measures in Nigeria. Bank fraud refers to illegal financial acts perpetrated by both bank staff and outsiders, or bank staff in connivance with outsiders, and intended to deceive, mislead and steal company property – monetary or otherwise – to satisfy personal needs or desires. The study utilised secondary sources of data which contents were anaylsed. The work place deviance and fraud triangle theories were adopted to anchor the study. The results suggest that bank fraud is prevalent and widespread in Nigeria, and therefore, it requires effective and efficient programmes to bring it under control, so as to boost investors’ confidence and protect customers or depositors interests.
