CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
The banking act of 1969 defined banking business as the business of receiving monies from outside resources as deposits, irrespective of the payment of interest and the granting of money loans and cheques, or the purchase and sales of securities for accounts of others or the incurring of the obligation to acquire claims in respect of loans prior to their maturity or the assumption of guarantees and other warranties for others.
In Nigeria, the banking business is being operated by the central bank of Nigeria (CBN) which acts as the apex bank commercial banks, merchant banks and of course the people’s and community bank established by various decrees promulgated by the federal military government.
Commercial banking actuates started in Nigeria in 1892 when the African Banking Corporation commenced its bank work in Lagos.
One of the basic roles of the central bank of Nigeria is the supervision and control of other banks.
One of the basic roles of the Central Bank of Nigeria is the supervision and control of other banks. In (1982) Hart brought his own view of definition of ank as a person or company carrying on the business of receiving monies and collecting draft for customers subject to the obligation of honouring cheques drawn upon them from time to time by customers to the extend of the amounts available on their current account.
The government through its agency the Central Bank of Nigeria regulates banks. This is to ensure that they render services to their customers in a manner consistent with safe banking operations and government financial policy.
Due to the need to effectively and efficiently mange depositors funds the task of managing a bank is entrusted with honors, reputable, and hard-working personnel amongst various function of bank management from among alternatives of a course of action.
It is at the core of planning, a plan cannot be said to exist unless a decision has been reached (Kasnts 1984).
The bank personnel management established internal control procedure for the effective discharge of the major functions in order to obtain their corporate objectives. In doings this, special attention must be given to communication problem. The structure of the bank organization should have a one and the staff structure so that there will be flow of information form the top management and vice versa and also the low level will give advice to the top level who might accept it or not. This will make people below the top management level to be among of the bank policy and their own responsibilities towards the bank.
With a free flow of information there will be a real basis for effective decision-making. There is a need to establish a follow up mechanism so that the performance will be maintained to know whether action is going according to plan and policies. If it is not then correction can be made before it is too late. It is in the light of the above factors that the management function of controlling becomes very desirable.
In order words, to ensure that efficiency proper management are maintained the bank management has established the internal control unit or the inspection division. The inspection itself is an important organ for internal control system. But our teaching problem is hat despite the establishment of this division there seem to be lapses here and there..

Thirdly, there has been cases of computer fraud deflation and outright removal of physical cash by employees ad out sectors. This has created imbalance looks and records with obvious effect of huge loses.
Another problem is he extent of frequent rationalization and entrenchment in the banking industry. This creates job insecurity and workers may tend to indulge in any act for survival in case of eventualities. All these motivated the research to study the effect of inspection as an aid to effective bank management.
