  "account": "Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC) former Managing Director, Nana Akwasi Awuah, has disputed the claim by the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) that the company's books were not audited between 2020 and 2024. According to Mr. Awuah, he had requested a multi-year audit of PMMC's accounts from the Auditor-General as early as September 2, 2024, contrary to the belief that the auditing process was initiated by GoldBod in 2025. In a response to GoldBod's report to Parliament's Public Accounts Committee (PAC), Mr. Awuah attributed the delay in auditing the company's accounts to bureaucratic challenges in appointing a new external auditor via the Ghana Audit Service. He clarified that his request for the audit was met with support from the Parliamentary Select Committee on State Enterprises, which also wrote to the Auditor-General in favor of a multi-year audit. The Auditor-General then assembled a team and commenced work in September 2024, with the final audit reports covering the years in question completed and submitted in April and June 2025. Mr. Awuah further highlighted a performance audit conducted by the Auditor-General in 2023, describing it as the first of its kind in over two decades at PMMC. He emphasized that the audit reports revealed that PMMC had faced financial struggles in earlier years but had been revitalized by the end of 2024, laying a solid foundation for the establishment of GoldBod, its successor institution.",
