CCSLD Consulting introduces fraud prevention tools

CCSLD Consulting has launched its Banking Security and Fraud Prevention Training Programme in Lagos, extending its expertise from the oil and gas industry into Nigeria’s financial services sector.

The consulting firm, known for reducing compliance breaches and strengthening accountability in energy operations, is now focusing on tackling fraud and cybercrime within banking and mortgage finance.

The training programme is designed to equip professionals in commercial banks and mortgage institutions, including the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria, to address sector-specific risks such as forged land titles, fraudulent cooperative loans, and insider fraud.

It will cover fraud detection frameworks, KYC/CDD processes, cybersecurity, incident response, and compliance with Central Bank of Nigeria regulations, supported by tailored case studies and practical simulations.

Partner at CCSLD Consulting, Osoba Otaigbe, based in the UK, stressed the cultural aspect of financial security:

“Security is not just about systems but also about culture. Extending this approach to banking will help institutions build resilience, protect customers, and restore trust.”

Nigeria-based partner Victor Okosun highlighted the firm’s proven track record in oil and gas, expressing confidence in its impact on the banking industry.

“Our interventions in oil and gas reduced compliance breaches and improved discipline,” he noted. “This tested model will help banks embed fraud prevention into their core operations.”
