CDD-Ghana, IAA to institute new index measuring financial irregularities of District Assemblies

The Internal Audit Agency (IAA) in partnership with the Ghana Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) has signed a Memorandum of  Understanding (MoU) to institute the “The District Accountability Index (DAI)”.

The DAI project is a public financial accountability performance index that will present information on  financial irregularities of District Assemblies in a manner comprehensible by citizens that will generate  interests and foster citizen demand accountability from their local government officials.

 The index,  which will depend on irregularities highlighted in the Auditor-General’s reports and other similarly  important administrative data, will measure all 260 Districts’ performance relative to financial  management. 

Through the project, it is expected that there will be an improvement in transparency, accountability,  stakeholder participation, and value for money in the use of public funds, leading to improved  accountability of public resources.

Additionally, the DAI project will positively impact social and human  resource capitalization for sound financial and economic governance towards sustainable and  emancipative development.

The IAA, established by the Internal Audit Agency Act, 2003 (Act 658), exercises oversight over internal  audit practices in the public service by setting standards, providing quality assurance, and supporting  capacity building for good corporate governance.

According to its 2020 status report, out of the 260  expected Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) Audit Committees, 249 had been  established, with 11 committees yet to be constituted. The number of charters signed was 239 out of  the 260 expected MMDAs.

Two hundred and fifty-two (252) audit work plans have been submitted out  of the expected 260 with eight outstanding. The delay or non-submission of reports indicates non-compliance, a phenomenon that poses a risk to sound control systems and effective public financial management. 

Dr. Eric Oduro Osae, Director-General of the IAA, emphasized the readiness of the Agency in meeting all the deliverables of the MoU. 

“This MoU is very critical, because when you have a DAI that publishes a list that indicates that there  are accountable weaknesses in various state agencies, we can zero in on those institutions, and  strengthen those institutions. By that, we can use the preventive approach to reduce corruption, or  even prevent it from happening at all,” he said.

On his part, Professor Kwasi Prempeh, Executive Director of CDD-Ghana, was hopeful that the DAI  would go a long way to assist the IAA and other policy and decision-makers to ensure  accountability in Ghana’s public financial management system.
