SIGA reporting should distinguish commercial performance from public service – Yaw Appiah Lartey

Lawyer and Deloitte Partner, Yaw Appiah Lartey, has urged the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA) to separate commercial entities from public-service institutions in its reporting to provide a more accurate picture of the performance of state-owned entities.

According to him, combining institutions established primarily to provide public services with profit-making entities can distort the overall assessment of their financial performance.“And so over time, once we are merging public service institutions with commercial or profit-making institutions, you have this problem,” he said.
