CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

• BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

In all human endeavours and activities there are usually stories

of successes  (achievements) and failures.

Businesses are therefore no exception.  Initially, a motive for setting up a company is for economic reasons which are usually taken to be profit maximization.  In periods of booms as was experienced in the mid – seventies during the oil boom, many businesses including the public sector organisations thieved in an era of abundance and squanderminio

In such an era, employment, production and income were at their peak levels and governmental expenditures at all levels rise considerably without any corresponding rise in productivity.

During this period also, no one complained, and managers of our various businesses did not think of means of survival and substance

Efficiency and effectiveness in the use of sources resources were never thought of and there were total absence of resource control mechanisms

Economic planners in such periods makes unrealistic projections and assumptions as they plan to build high – ways , sky – scrappers,  organisation now think of lost reduction and minimisation of fraud and financial malpractices which hither to plunged such organisation into distressed conditions.

The adverse macro – economic conditions in Nigeria today has attained a dimension that can best be described as “crisis” level.  This has led to some drastic measures or programmes being initiated by the government to keep the nation afloat.

Such measures have come in different names at different times, ranging from the belting tightening of the Shangri administration through Economic Emergency order of Buhari regime to the structural Adjustment programme (SAP).

As a result of these measures, firms, and individuals have found themselves in extremely hard condition to the extent that some have failed completely, others are stagnated and distressed.

What factors are specifically responsible for such state  of affairs of the business firms?  This project is set out to investigate how fraud and financial malpractices can bring is highly profitable organisations into distressed and untimely liquidation.

 

• STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

In spite of the Federal Government privatising the

telecommunication industry,  NITEL Ltd is saddled with the problem of bad image orising mostly from fraudulent management and staff of the company.

There is inherent weakness in the internal control system of NITEL Ltd.

NITEL Ltd management does not consider policy on fraudulent cases as strategic in its decision taking.

NITEL Ltd has not net-up with the expectation of investors as
