Audit Report Implementation Committee inaugurated in Accra

A new five-member internal Audit Report Implementation Committee (ARIC) has been inaugurated at the Registrar General’s Department (RDG) in compliance with the Public Financial Management Act, 2016.

Public Management Act

Explaining the purpose for the committee at the swearing in ceremony in Accra, the acting Registrar General, Mrs Jemima Oware said, the ARIC would prepare annual statements showing the status of implementation of recommendations contained in internal reports.

“it would pursue recommendation contained in internal audit report, Parliament’s decision on Auditor-General’s report, Auditor-General’s management letter and the report of an internal monitoring unit in the covered entity concerned particularly in relation to financial matters raised,” she said.

New Board

Mrs Oware expressed her confidence in the new committee, saying that she was expecting them to take up the task seriously for success to be accomplished. She also on the occasion congratulated the outgoing members of the committee.

“We appreciate your outstanding performances and great efforts demonstrated over the past years in ensuring success of the previous audit implementation reports,” she said.

In a speech read on his behalf, the acting Director of the Internal Audit Agency (IAA), Mr Ransford Agyei, urged the members to be conversant with the institution, its Acts as well as members and staff of RDG.

He asked them to devote their time and be committed to their work and also offer their support to work for internal audit, particularly in preparation of annual plans and programmes for the RDG.

Commitment

“Your role is not limited to financial management of the organisation but the growth and development of the department as a whole,” he said.

The in-coming Chairman for the committee, Mr Kwabena Osei-Semprenoo, pledged his support and commitment to the Board of Directors of RDG and expressed the hope that things would go as expected.

“I believe in team work, and since we are all in this together I would make sure reports go to IAA for suggestions as well as distribute credible annual reports,” he said.
