Ghana's Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has raised concerns over GH¢5.2 billion in financial irregularities across ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs), according to Modern Ghana. The findings are drawn from the country's 2025 audit report, which several Ghanaian outlets covered on Tuesday, 6 October 2026.
Modern Ghana reported the committee's alarm over the scale of the irregularities, a figure also cited by CitiNewsroom.com and Adomonline.com. Adomonline.com linked the amount specifically to the 2025 audit report.
Separately, GBC Ghana Online reported that the Auditor-General has withdrawn two audit reports — one covering the Washington Embassy and another on the All African Games. Asaase Radio reported that the PAC has stepped down both reports, meaning the committee has set them aside rather than proceeding with them.
The material available does not detail which MDAs are involved, what the irregularities consist of, or the reasons behind the withdrawal of the two reports. The GH¢5.2 billion figure and the committee's concern are the central points reported so far.
The PAC's scrutiny of public spending falls within its mandate to examine how state funds are used, and the 2025 audit report forms the basis of its current findings. The withdrawal of the Washington Embassy and All African Games reports adds a further element to the committee's work, though the reporting does not explain the decision.
What to watch next: whether the PAC or the Auditor-General releases further details on the irregularities, the specific MDAs affected, and the reasons the two audit reports were withdrawn.
