Ghana Police Service rated compliant but Immigration Service, Fire Service, and NADMO fall short in PFM rankings
Ghana Police Service received mixed ratings in the country's first Public Financial Management (PFM) Compliance League Table. The league table, released by the Ministry of Finance, assessed 101 public institutions based on their adherence to the Public Financial Management Act, 2016 (Act 921) and related financial regulations. The Ghana Police Service was ranked 35th, placing it within the "Compliant" band, while the Ghana Immigration Service ranked 60th, also within the compliant category.
The Ghana National Fire Service and the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) were placed in the "Least Compliant" category. The Finance Ministry said the league table is intended to "promote transparency and strengthen accountability across the public sector." The performance of the Fire Service and NADMO is expected to draw public scrutiny, given their critical frontline roles.
The Ministry noted that its PFM Compliance Division will lead direct engagements with underperforming institutions as part of efforts to address the identified gaps and improve overall compliance levels across government agencies. The Ministry added that "firm enforcement measures will be taken where improvements are not made." The Ministry will also "engage covered entities that recorded low compliance scores and help them to identify gaps in their PFM compliance systems."
