Accounting Malpractice and Fraud in Nigeria

Thesis Statement:
Accounting Malpractice and Fraud in Nigeria is prevalent and has been a topic of discussion around the world because of the distress and closure of many companies and banks in Nigeria. Three contributing factors to auditor’s unethical behavior in Nigeria are fear of sanction, political instability, and weak control systems. Differing views of religion and sexual orientation do affect certain internal compliance auditor’s in Nigeria however, it does not contribute as much as the other factors.
