Financial irregularities plummet by 62.9% as state tightens fiscal controls

Disclosing the figures during a high-level consultative engagement on the 2025 Auditor-General’s Reports, Mr Ampem described the sharp decline as concrete evidence of effective public financial management (PFM) reforms.

The reduction surpassed the government's internal performance target of cutting public sector financial irregularities by 50 per cent in 2025, exceeding the benchmark by 12.“This improvement demonstrates that when there is deliberate attention to public financial management, stronger controls and greater accountability, measurable results can be achieved,” he stated.
