Methodology

How these figures were assembled.

Figures are the headline “total financial irregularities” stated in each of the Auditor-General’s annual public-accounts reports, taken verbatim from the published PDF. Five streams are tracked each year: MDAs, District Assemblies, Public Boards & Corporations, Pre-University institutions and Tertiary institutions.

Each financial year is indexed to the governing period it falls in: 2009–2017, 2017–2025 and 2025–present.

US dollar equivalents use the Bank of Ghana year-end interbank rate for the relevant financial year. No inflation adjustment is applied, so figures from different years are not directly comparable.

Reports marked OCR were recovered from scanned documents and should be treated with lower confidence. If you find an error, report it and we will re-check the source document.
