Why is it important?

Fraud has become one of the most challenging issues facing the financial sector of most countries globally. These fraudulent transactions have led to loss of huge sums of money to financial institutions, as well as to their depositors.

Perspectives

I think this paper has brought out something very important in the banking sector especially about private ownership which grants great influence to the CEOs to misuse funds.
