Ghana's Audit Service rejected complaints from university teachers about a special report. The University Teachers Association from the University of Ghana said auditors never talked to them before releasing findings. Teachers held a news meeting on May 20 to discuss the audit document. They called the report full of mistakes and rule-breaking. The audit found the university overpaid workers 59.2 million Ghana cedis from 2022 to 2024.
Audit officials responded to teacher complaints on Friday. Assistant Auditor-General Ama Awotwe-Bosumafi said the teacher's claims had no truth behind them. The audit office told people to ignore what teachers said about their work. Officials promised they would follow world standards when checking government money. They said their job helps the country save cash and hold people accountable.
The Audit Service said university leaders worked with them throughout the whole checking process. Officials pointed to laws that require talks between auditors and the groups they examine. Government rules from 2019 guide how auditors verify payroll information at public institutions. The Finance Ministry must approve worker payments after proper checks are done. Audit reports aim to help the state rather than hurt any single organization.
