The Auditor-General, Johnson Akuamoah Asiedu, has taken a significant step towards ensuring transparency and accountability in the management of public funds by publishing an interim list of rejected and pending claims, commitments, and Bank Transfer Advices (BTAs).
According to the Auditor-General, the list covers arrears and outstanding commitments that have either been rejected or remain pending further justification before payment.
The claims relate to works executed and services rendered under various government projects across Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) nationwide.
The audit, conducted between May and October 2025 in collaboration with global accounting firms PwC and EY, involved engagements with MDAs, contractors, and suppliers to verify and validate the legitimacy of the claims.
Verification Window Open
Affected parties have the opportunity to contest or justify their claims by submitting supporting documentation through the relevant MDAs to the Ghana Audit Service for final validation.
The verification window remains open until November 7, 2025. After that date, any arrears or commitments that remain rejected or unverified will be permanently expunged from the government’s arrears and commitment records.
This move is part of efforts to promote transparency and accountability in public financial management.
The full list of rejected and pending claims is available on the Ministry of Finance’s and the Audit Service’s official websites.
