In order to illustrate the strength of the relationship and the impact of the independent variables on the dependent variables, data analysis was done using percentages and means. Because of the nature of the banking sector's riskiness and its impact on bank performance as well as the country's overall economic growth, the study suggested that banks implement and maintain internal controls efficiently. A separate board of directors and committee is mandated under corporate governance regulations for banks. In addition, each bank branch should have a fully staffed and trained independent audit department to support the efficient application of internal controls with a focus on risk assessment. | |
