Auditor-General to track audit recommendations as GH¢280.5m in surcharges remains unpaid

The Ghana Audit Service is set to launch an online tracker in October 2026 to monitor the implementation of audit recommendations, with a focus on recovering GH¢280.5 million in unpaid surcharges. The Auditor-General, Dr Pamela Graham, emphasized that an audit report marks the beginning of action, not the end, and highlighted the importance of follow-through on audit recommendations.

The tracker will provide information on the status of implemented recommendations, outstanding ones, reasons for delays, and the measures taken to recover recoverable amounts. The service has already recovered GH¢17.6 billion and saved the country about GH¢11.7 billion in wrongful payments.
