• Fraudulent practice has the potential to bring about the collapse of a bank.
• It falls on the shoulders of the government to ensure the confidence of the public is high and to reduce the risks of financial crime based on information.
• Governments at all levels, as well as legislators, are expected to pay close attention to banks’ financial information and its practices (Adeyemi & Fagbemi, 2010; Ogbuji, Onuoha, & Izogo, 2012).
• Looking at this important issue Banking and Financial Institutions Act 1989 (BAFIA) came in to effect starting from 1st October 1989
• All commercial banks and other licensed financial institutions in Malaysia are regulated under the BAFIA.
• Bank Negara Malaysia administers the statute and as such, has the authority to impose penalties on banks and other financial institutions and its officers for violations.
• Arising from the implementation of the BAFIA (1989) there has been many changes within the banking industry itself
• As mentioned by Tan Sri Dato' Seri Ali Abul Hassan bin Sulaiman, past Governor of BNM,
“Issued a stern warning to employees of
banking institutions to adhere to the secrecy
provision under section 97(1) of the Banking
and Financial Institutions Act 1989 (BAFIA).”
