Patrick Onwura Nzechukwu (Fmr. Odunze) was born in Jos, Plateau State of Nigeria, in 1969, of Igbo parents. He completed his high school (secondary school) education in 1986. He earned a national diploma in accountancy from Federal Polytechnic, Bauchi, in 1990, and a higher national diploma in accoun-tancy from Yaba College of Technology in 1994. He qualified as a chartered accountant in 2001 from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria and earned his master''s in business administration in 2002. He also earned certifica-tion in Oracle 8i Database Administration in 2002 and a certificate in computer appreciation in 1995.
Nzechukwu is a good researcher with interest on filling gaps in trending global economic issues. This trait was demonstrated when he noticed that there was no textbook by a Nigerian on internal auditing, maybe because the emphasis has been on external auditing, which has legislative backing. At that time, corrup-tion has driven the economy almost into recession. Also, internationally, there was a high level of business manipulation by managements in advanced economies, particularly in the United States. These discoveries gave rise to the writing of the first textbook on internal auditing in Nigeria by a Nigerian. The book was struc-tured into two parts: the practice part and the study part. The practice part is being released first, and the study part will follow later. Nzechukwu has written an unpublished textbook on forensic accounting, Forensic Accounting, A Mirror to Financial Undercutting.
Nzechukwu has written some articles published in LinkedIn, Facebook, ResearchGate, Academic.edu, and Global Research & Development Services (GRDS), including the following: 1.
