2021 A-G’s REPORT: A.M.A Urban Roads Accountant 'Hot' For Paying GH¢61K Without Supporting Document

Trouble seems to be staring at the Accountant of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly’s (AMA) Urban Roads Department following some interesting revelations by the 2021 Auditor-General’s report.

According to the 2021 Auditor-General’s report, the Accountant of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly’s (AMA) Urban Roads Department made some payments without supporting documents.

The 2021 A-G's report further revealed that the amount involved totaled GH¢61,732.00 72.

The report said “Our audit disclosed that between January and December 2020, the Accountant paid GH¢61,731.80 with 83 payment vouchers without supporting them with the requisite expenditure documents”.

The A-G has, therefore, reminded the Head of the Department and the Accountant to pay back the over GH¢60K.
