Background of the Study
Regulatory compliance is essential for maintaining stability, transparency, and public trust in the banking sector. In Nigeria, banks must adhere to guidelines set by regulatory bodies such as the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) to ensure sound financial practices (Adeyemi & Umar, 2024).
In Nasarawa State, compliance with regulatory standards directly impacts the operational efficiency and reputation of commercial banks. Noncompliance often results in penalties and erosion of public trust, emphasizing the need for robust governance frameworks (Aliyu & Mohammed, 2023). This study evaluates regulatory compliance in commercial banks in Nasarawa State.
Statement of the Problem
Despite regulatory frameworks, many commercial banks in Nasarawa State struggle with compliance challenges, including inadequate reporting, risk management lapses, and ethical violations. These issues jeopardize financial stability and customer trust (Baba & Musa, 2023).
Existing research often addresses compliance at the national level, leaving gaps in understanding its dynamics within specific states like Nasarawa. This study aims to assess compliance practices and their implications for the banking sector.
