Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceived effectiveness of internal audit units in fraud prevention in Jordanian banking industry. It examines the effect of internal audit souring arrangement on perceived effectiveness of fraud prevention from senior managers’ point of view. A survey of forty five executives is selected to gather information’s to test the study hypotheses. The main findings indicate that internal audit units are perceived effective in fraud prevention. Furthermore, in-house internal audit units are perceived more effective than outsourced internal audit functions in fraud prevention. The study surprising result is that internal audit units may fear from retaliation when reporting fraud related top management, however, this may result in weak independence and objectivity of internal auditors. One of the crucial reasons for these results is that in-house internal audit units have more in depth- knowledge about banks culture, polices and procedures than outsourced auditors . Moreover, senior managers consider that internal audit units have more experience than outsourced auditors in fraud prevention and detection. The study recommends that internal auditors should have comprehensive training programmes to get the sufficient knowledge in fraud prevention and detection in banking industry.

Il examine l'effet de l'audit interne sur l'efficacite percue de la prevention contre la fraude du point de vue des cardres superieurs. Une enquete aupres de 45 cadres est selectionnee pour rassembler des informations afin de tester les hypotheses de l'etude. Les resultats principaux indiquent que les unites d'audit interne sont percues efficaces dans la prevention contre la fraude. Par ailleurs, les unites d'audit interne a l'interieur de l'organisation sont percues plus efficaces que des fonctions d'audit interne externalisees dans la prevention contre la fraude. Un resultat surprenant de l'etude est que des unites d'audit interne auraient peur des represailles lors que la fraude est liee a la haute gestion, cependant, cela peut conduire a l'independance et l'objectivite faibles des auditeurs internes.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
