The Volta region has taken a significant step towards strengthening public sector accountability and transparency with the inauguration of a state-of-the-art Audit Office Complex.
The facility, located in Ho, was built at a cost of 16.47 million Ghana cedis and is part of a broader initiative to enhance Ghana’s audit system.
The new complex will replace the previous office, which was housed in the Regional Health Directorate building, and is expected to ensure a more comprehensive and effective audit process.
The project is one of 18 regional and district offices being constructed across the country, funded by a 13 million euro loan from German financial cooperation.
The initiative reflects the shared commitment of the Government of Ghana and its partners to good governance and effective public administration.
Auditor-General Johnson Akuamoah Asiedu highlighted the critical role of the new regional and district offices in the Audit Service’s mission.
He expressed gratitude for the German government’s support through KFW, the German Development Bank, which provided funding for the project.
Viktoria Kowarzik, Portfolio Manager of KFW, emphasized Germany’s continued support for Ghana’s development agenda through projects promoting transparent and accountable institutions.
Volta Regional Minister Dr. Archibald Yao Letsa praised the collaborative effort that led to the project’s successful completion and noted its significance in enhancing the Audit Service’s capacity in the region.
The inauguration of the Volta Regional Office is expected to have a far-reaching impact on promoting good governance, transparency, and accountability in Ghana’s financial management system.
