The research adopted a survey design where primary data were obtained using a structured questionnaire. Fifty (50) respondents were purposively chosen. A purposive sampling technique was used which considered banks having branches within Ladoke Akintola University of Technology and Ogbomoso town. OLS regression was used to determine the influence of electronic banking on customers queuing the factors for queuing in the banking environment amid e-banking adoption at 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed that queue in the study area was most of the time very high in the morning, high in the afternoon and evening while at night, most time witnessed no queue. Electronic banking had a significant influence on customers’ queuing in the study area. Further, Tendency to Hold Cash by banks customers (THC), Poor Internet Infrastructure (PII), Cybercrime (CC) were the major factors causing bank customer queue in the banking environment in Nigeria, followed by Inadequate of Banking Technology Management (IBTM) and E-Banking Transaction Cost (EBTC). Therefore, banks service providers should increase efforts on cashless e-banking services and ensure reliable internet service at all times. Bank customers should be made to appreciate other e-banking services than ATM and allay fear on tendency to hold cash.

This study examines the importance of the application of forensic audit in controlling financial frauds that ravage or threaten the soundness and business continuity of Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. The study used survey design methods, and the primary data were obtained through the administration of structured questionnaire covering seventeen (17) banks out of twenty-two (22) Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) operating in the country, which is 77.3%. In this study, the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method was used to analyze and test hypotheses, and the findings showed that the involvement of qualified and experienced forensic auditors would not only contribute to the amelioration of financial frauds in DMBs, but would also lead to much-needed sanity in the banking sector of Nigeria. The study recommends that regulatory agencies, within the limits prescribed by law, mandate all the banks to create a special forensic department, managed by a professional forensic auditor, which will develop and constantly implement effective and efficient internal control, timely prosecution of fraudsters by considering them to be criminals and as a deterrent to others, and work out adequate training and development programs for their staff, especially in fraud control, in order to reduce the number of fraud cases in Nigerian banks.

Liquidity risk is the potential that an entity will be unable to acquire the cash required to meet its short and intermediate-term obligations. Deposit-taking Savings and Credit Cooperative Organisation (SACCOs) face liquidity risk when they are unable to fund their operations and lending requirements to their members as and when circumstances demand. Given that liquidity is a key phenomenon on the optimal functioning and financial performance of deposit-taking SACCOs, this study critically analyzed the effect of liquidity risk on the financial performance of DT SACCOs in Kenya. The study used a descriptive survey design and employed regression methods to model the relationship between liquidity risk and financial performance of DT SACCOs. The data were analyzed at a 5% level of significance. The study findings revealed that at a 5% level of significance, liquidity risk had a statistically significant influence on the financial performance of deposit-taking SACCOs. Basing on the findings, DT SACCOs are encouraged to focus on enhancing the mobilization of deposits to ensure that an asset portfolio that minimizes liquidity risk is maintained.
