How this record is built, and what it will not tell you.

Auditdata Gh is a public database of financial irregularities reported by the Auditor-General of Ghana from FY2010 to the present. It exists to make official records searchable, comparable across governments, and durable over time.

The site is non-partisan. Every entry is attributed to the ruling government during the relevant financial year so citizens can compare records across administrations — an indexing decision, not a claim about who is to blame.

These are findings from official audits of central government ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs), Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs), Public Boards and Corporations, Pre-University institutions and Tertiary institutions.

Each record shows the amount reported, the financial year, the government in office, the audit stream, and a direct link to the published PDF. We do not add to, subtract from or reinterpret the figures.

Findings are grouped by the governing period the relevant financial year falls in: 2009–2017, 2017–2025 and 2025 to date. The platform carries no political attribution.

Note that a report is published the year after the financial year it covers, so an entry dated 2026 in the archive describes FY2025.

The Auditor-General’s annual public-accounts reports are only reliably available in the Ghana Audit Service online archive from financial year 2010. Reports for 2000–2009 were either not published digitally, used different formats, or are too degraded for extraction.

We mark that gap rather than quietly starting the charts later, and we welcome pointers to usable primary sources for those years.

Totals are shown in Ghana cedis exactly as reported, and in US dollars using year-end Bank of Ghana interbank rates for the relevant financial year.

These are nominal figures — not inflation-adjusted. Dollar equivalents are provided only to aid cross-year comparison and should be treated as approximate.

Entries are drafted, reviewed and published through an internal workflow. Write access is gated behind authentication and role checks; the public can read everything and submit error reports.

If you see an inaccuracy — a wrong date, a missing source, a misattributed year, or a figure that looks wrong — report it. Reports are triaged by reviewers before any public edit is made.
