5.3 CONCLUSION
In concluding this researcher work. The researcher would wish to state that there is the need for a new orientation, a change impose on people are usually short-lived pretentious, and lead to eye service, an appeal to the inner mind, that is, changes from within, is more permanent and leads to a better result.
The internal control system must be installed and should also be review from time to time to ensure its effectiveness as this would go a long way in checking frauds.
Both bank staff and customers are assets of the banks. Without the customers, there would be no banking business and hence no banking and vice versa. There should exist, a cordial relationship between these two set of people and bank staff should endeavour to minimize the extent of waste of customer – time to help determine those who have come to the bank with had intentions.
Finally, the standized computer cheque book as well as other thing when needed to fully computerize the banks should be required to forestall, at least to some degree, the extent of bank frauds.
