Guided by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Resource-Based View (RBV), the study employs a descriptive cross-sectional design. Data were collected from 86 respondents comprising bank staff, management, and internal audit personnel through structured questionnaires, supplemented by document analysis of audit reports and transaction records for the period 2019–2023.

Findings demonstrate that automated transaction processing significantly reduces processing errors (r=0.647, p
