Primary data for the study were collected from the respondents using structured questionnaire. The tools for descriptive analysis were percentage analysis, frequency distribution and mean. Hypotheses were tested using regression analysis. The finding of the study showed that: there is a significant positive relationship between data mining techniques and artificial intelligence biometrics for fraud management in listed commercial banks (β = 0.086, p = 0.000); computer-assisted audit techniques significantly and positively relate with artificial intelligence biometrics for fraud management (β = 0.204, p = 0.002); ratio analysis techniques have a significant and positive relationship with artificial intelligence biometrics for fraud management (β = 0.148, p = 0.033); public documents review techniques have a significant and positive relationship with artificial intelligence biometrics for fraud management (β = 0.316, p = 0.000).
