Background of the Study
Modern regulatory compliance practices are fundamental to ensuring bank accountability, transparency, and sound governance. First Bank of Nigeria has updated its compliance framework to incorporate digital monitoring tools, stringent audit protocols, and comprehensive risk management systems. These measures are designed to ensure adherence to regulatory standards, reduce instances of misconduct, and promote transparency in financial reporting. By aligning its operations with international best practices, First Bank aims to enhance its accountability to regulators, investors, and customers, thereby strengthening its overall governance structure.

Furthermore, the high cost of maintaining advanced compliance tools and the continuous need for updates in response to evolving regulations place a significant strain on resources. Additionally, inconsistent enforcement of regulatory policies across various departments may compromise overall accountability and transparency, limiting the bank’s ability to fully meet regulatory expectations.
