GHGhana · Auditor-General, annual public accountsFY2010–FY2025

Ghana'spublic accounts.

Every financial irregularity the Auditor-General has reported since FY2010–FY2025, filed by the governing period the audited year falls in. Nothing here is modelled or estimated — each figure is transcribed from an official report, and each one links back to the PDF it came from.

What was reported, year by year

Each column is the total the Auditor-General reported for that financial year, across all five audit streams. Colour marks the governing period the audited year falls in — not the period in which the report was published. Select a column to open the records and source documents behind it.

US dollars

Figures are nominal and not adjusted for inflation. US dollar equivalents use the Bank of Ghana year-end interbank rate for each financial year and are approximate. 1 report has no extractable total and is excluded from the columns above.

The largest single year in the archive is FY2021 at $3.1B. A tall column is not evidence that more was stolen that year — it can equally reflect a wider audit, a change in what the Auditor-General classified as irregular, or the cedi’s movement against the dollar.

Before you cite this

What a reported irregularity is and what it is not.

It is an audit finding.

The Auditor-General flags money that was unsupported, unrecovered, misapplied or improperly procured. That is a finding about record-keeping and control — not a criminal verdict, and not proof that funds were stolen.

It is not a conviction.

This site does not track prosecutions, recoveries or court outcomes, because the published reports do not record them consistently. Absence of a case here is not evidence that nothing happened.

It is grouped, not blamed.

Records are filed under the governing period the audited financial year falls in. That is an indexing decision so the record can be compared over time — it is not an attribution of responsibility to anyone.

It is incomplete before FY2010.

The Ghana Audit Service online archive holds no usable annual public-accounts reports for 2000–2009. Totals by period are therefore incomplete for that period, and we say so rather than quietly starting the chart later.
