AI and NLP boost fraud detection in Nigerian finance sector

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new study explores the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled Accounting Information Systems (AIS) on fraud detection within Nigeria's financial services sector. The research, which surveyed 186 professionals from banking, insurance, and FinTech, found that AI-enabled AIS significantly enhances auditing and fraud detection effectiveness. Furthermore, the study highlights that Natural Language Processing (NLP) positively moderates this relationship by improving data interpretation and analytical explainability, ultimately bolstering fraud governance and institutional trust in digital financial environments.
