The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) is facing criticism from the Institute of Economic Research and Public Policy (IERPP) over allegations that the organization has removed its quarterly trading reports from its website. In a statement released on Monday, August 25, 2026, the IERPP demanded that GoldBod provide explanations for the disappearance of the reports and comply with Section 42 of the Ghana Gold Board Act, 2025 (Act 1140).
This law mandates the Board to maintain public access to quarterly reports on operations, revenue, contracts, expenditure, and responsible sourcing. The IERPP expressed concerns about GoldBod's compliance with the law, emphasizing that public accountability is crucial given the organization's role in managing Ghana's strategic gold reserves and significant financial interests.
The think tank has six demands for GoldBod, including restoring all previously published reports, explaining any deletions or amendments, and ensuring full disclosure of financial details for public scrutiny.
