The findings of the study shows that implementation of e-payment system curtails the level of fraud as a means of settlement of transaction system in government agencies: between the Financial institutions and contractors, fraud is a major challenge militating against effective implementation of use of e-payment system as settlement of transaction in government agencies .The study recommend that government agencies in Nigeria should institute a strong internal control system to prevent e-payment fraud, however, the internal control system is not strong enough to prevent fraud.
