According to her, the Controller and Accountant-General’s Department remains central to this agenda, playing a key role in translating policy into impact and ensuring that public resources are used effectively.
The Vice President said this in an address on Friday April 24, at the 2026 Controller and Accountant-General’s Annual Conference in Koforidua, held under the theme “Leveraging Technology, Transparency and Accountability for Sustainable Fiscal Governance.”
She underscored the centrality of sound accounting systems to effective governance, noting that strong fiscal discipline, deliberate reforms, and robust institutional performance continue to yield measurable national outcomes.
She referenced recent economic gains, including declining inflation and improved currency stability, as evidence of progress.
The Vice President emphasised that the future of fiscal governance depends on responsible digital transformation and innovation to enhance efficiency, minimise leakages, and enable real-time financial reporting.
She further highlighted the importance of strengthening payroll systems and eliminating irregularities such as ghost names, while ensuring transparent and verifiable processes to safeguard public resources.
Reaffirming Government’s commitment to value for money, she stated that every Cedi must deliver impact for citizens.
She commended the Controller and Accountant-General’s Department for its critical role in translating policy into results and urged continued dedication to transparency, accountability, and professional excellence in public financial management.
