University of Ghana, Ministry of Education among worst performers in Ghana's public funds compliance ranking
University of Ghana has been identified as one of the weakest performers in public financial management compliance in a new government assessment. The University of Ghana, the Ministry of Education, and the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment were all ranked in the lowest tier. The findings are contained in the Public Financial Management (PFM) Compliance League Table released by the Ministry of Finance, which evaluated 101 public institutions.
A total of 19 institutions were placed in the "Least Compliant" category. The Ministry said the rankings are intended as an objective, evidence-based benchmarking tool to strengthen accountability across the public sector. The report noted, "By constructively ranking institutions based on their level of compliance, the Ministry seeks to deepen transparency, promote accountability, and encourage continuous improvement across the public sector in the management and use of public resources." The Ghana Education Trust Fund recorded a stronger performance, ranking 18th in the broader "Compliant" band.
The Ministry of Finance will engage directly with all low-performing institutions through its PFM Compliance Division to identify gaps and implement corrective measures. The Ministry warned that stricter enforcement actions will follow if improvements are not made.
