The Auditor-General has launched a comprehensive nationwide payroll audit targeting all entities on the Controller and Accountant-General’s payroll system, including subvented organizations.
The audit will examine the payroll records of Ministries, Departments, Agencies (MDAs), and subvented bodies for the period spanning January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2024. As part of the exercise, a full headcount of all government-paid staff will be conducted.
In a statement issued by the Office of the Auditor-General, all affected institutions have been urged to grant auditors full and unrestricted access to all relevant records.
“The Office of the Auditor-General calls on all institutions to provide unhindered access to books, returns, and other documents, including computerized and electronic records, to ensure the audit is completed smoothly and within schedule,” the statement said.
