Abstract
Financial institutions play a crucial role in the economy by facilitating monetary transactions, providing loans, and managing investments. However, mismanagement within these institutions can have far-reaching consequences that impact not only the institutions themselves but also the broader economy.

The study will investigate the various forms of mismanagement that can occur in financial institutions, including but not limited to fraud, embezzlement, unethical behavior, and inadequate risk management practices. By examining real-world case studies and analyzing data from regulatory agencies, the research will provide insights into the root causes of mismanagement in these institutions. Furthermore, this project will delve into the effects of mismanagement on financial institutions, their stakeholders, and the economy as a whole. These effects can range from financial losses and damage to reputation to systemic risks that threaten the stability of the entire financial system. Understanding the full extent of these consequences is essential for developing effective strategies to prevent and address mismanagement in financial institutions. In terms of solutions, the research will explore a variety of approaches that can help mitigate the risks of mismanagement in financial institutions. This may include implementing stricter regulatory frameworks, improving corporate governance practices, enhancing risk management systems, and fostering a culture of transparency and accountability within these institutions. By synthesizing best practices and lessons learned from past incidents of mismanagement, the project aims to provide practical recommendations for stakeholders in the financial sector. Overall, this research project seeks to shed light on the course of mismanagement in financial institutions, its effects on the economy, and potential solutions to address this critical issue.
