Abstract

The objective of this study is: to analyze the relationship between forensic investigation skills and value of stock in insurance companies in Nigeria. In doing this, the study focused on insurance companies that are listed in the NSE as the year ended 2020. This study purposively selected seventeen (17) insurance companies in Nigeria for a period of ten years, that is, 2011-2020. A multi-regression analysis of panel data was used as the analysis tool which reveals that forensic audit and litigation has no significant effect on tax frauds prevention in oil companies in Nigeria. However, the study clearly concludes that there is a significant positive association between forensic investigation skills and value of stock in insurance companies in Nigeria. Based on this therefore this study recommends that agencies or units concerned with forensic investigation analysis should improve on the frauds detection skills by deploying computer and electronic based technology that will be able to identify, summarize and presents any fraud that may occur in the financial records of the companies.
