About 40% of graduates go into financial sector to commit fraud - MD of Cal Bank

Managing Director of investment bank, Cal Bank, Frank Brako Adu has revealed a rather surprising statistic that 4 out of 10 graduates only go into the financial sector to get quickly rich and are forced to commit fraud.

The managing director of Cal Bank, Frank Brako Adu has lashed out at young Ghanaian graduates among whom he claims 40% go into the financial sector with the intention to commit fraud.

It is not clear where the banking chief got his numbers, but in a report sighted by YEN.com.gh on Ghanacrusader.com, Adu was quoted as saying: "40% of all new graduates who go into banks, cashiering jobs, etc, go with an intention of defrauding the institution.”

This number, if true, apart from being a worrying moral problem, speaks to the future of Ghana and where it could be heading.
