The Auditor-General, Johnson Akuamoah Asiedu, has released an interim list of rejected and pending claims, commitments, and Bank Transfer Advices (BTAs) submitted by the Ministry of Finance for verification, as part of measures to promote transparency and accountability in public financial management.
According to the Auditor-General, the Ministry of Finance had earlier forwarded all outstanding commitments, claims, and BTAs as of December 31, 2024, for audit verification before any payments were processed.
These claims cover 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 extensive engagements with MDAs, contractors, and suppliers to verify the authenticity of the claims.
The newly published list includes arrears and outstanding commitments that have either been rejected or remain pending further justification before payment can be approved.
Mr. Akuamoah Asiedu noted that affected parties may contest or justify their claims by submitting supporting documents through their respective 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.
The full list has been published on the websites of the Ministry of Finance and the Ghana Audit Service.
