The Auditor-General of Ghana, Dr. Pamela Graham organized a four-day debriefing workshop on 24 reports of the A-G for the 2025 laid before Parliament.

Special Audit Reports
1.Comprehensive Audit of the 13th African Games, Accra 2023
During deliberations, members observed and questioned the alarming rate of indebtedness of tax obligations by institutions to GRA. These findings led members to request a meeting with management of GRA, to seek clarification for the rising figures and explanations on attempts to retrieve same. Following this, PAC members advised the Service to consider tougher recommendations for public institutions, including closing down institutions, with outstanding tax obligations, as is applied to smaller private owned companies.
Dr. Graham disclosed that in ensuring coordination, follow-ups and data integrity, for all parties interested in the Service’s report, a team from the Service, led by Mr. Patrick Neequaye (AAG-IT Audit) have developed an E-Tracker application. This is a web-based app that will assist interested parties to track the rate of implementation of recommendations made in reports of both Audit Service and PAC after public sittings.
The app, when effectively used, would provide Audit Committees with real-time access to external audit recommendations and directives as issued by the PAC. She further explained that the app seeks to provide stakeholders with statistics and performance analysis of audit recommendations and PAC directives implemented or yet to be by public institutions.
Dr. Graham encouraged members to fully embrace the app after a demonstration by the developing team, who mentioned an intended training session for the PAC and users. This she said was necessary to create a collective approach to an effective financial oversight architecture in ensuring transparency and accountability.
At the end of the 3-day workshop, Dr. Pamela Graham in her closing remarks thanked all present for their various contributions and dedicated support to the Service especially on the suggestions that seeks to make Audit Service better.
In response, the spokesperson for the PAC members thanked the Auditor-General for her presence and requested same during the PAC public sittings. He further pledged their continuous support to the Service, and encouraged continuous engagements whiles working together to protect the public purse for the sake of the ordinary man.
