Financial infractions across Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs), the District Assemblies Common Fund, Public Boards and State‑Owned Enterprises, as well as Public Universities and Colleges of Education, have recorded a sharp decline.
According to official figures, irregularities fell from GH¢20.72 billion in 2024 to GH¢7.69 billion in 2025 — a reduction of GH¢13.03 billion, representing 62.9%. The outcome surpasses Government’s stated target of cutting irregularities by half.
Officials attribute the improvement to stronger internal controls and enhanced accountability mechanisms across the public sector. The measures, they say, are delivering measurable results in safeguarding public funds and ensuring compliance with financial regulations.
The development is expected to bolster confidence in Ghana’s fiscal management framework, while reinforcing the importance of transparency and discipline in the stewardship of public resources.
