A system of effective internal control has been described as critical component of an organization’s management (banks inclusive) and a foundation for its safe and sound operations. This study examined the effect of internal control system on Nigerian banks. Three banks were randomly selected for the study, while three hundred and sixty (360) questionnaires were distributed to respondents, but only three hundred and forty-two (342) were retrieved. The study revealed that the lack of a good internal control system is a major cause of fraud in banks. It was also discovered that banks with effective internal control system can prevent and stand against the menace of fraud. One of the major recommendations is that adequate internal control system should be put in place at all level of banks’ operation. Also, it is recommended that an effective internal audit department should be established possibly with qualified Chartered Accountants as the head.
