Dr Cassiel Ato Forson is the Minister of Finance
The Ministry of Finance has directed all Covered Entities to submit their Quarterly Commitment Control Reports (CCR) to the Internal Audit Agency (IAA) as part of measures to strengthen fiscal discipline and accountability in the public sector.
The directive, issued on May 2, 2025, is a core fiscal control mechanism designed to enforce commitment discipline, prevent unauthorized expenditures, and enhance transparency across government institutions.
According to the Ministry, a list has been published containing only institutions that have complied with the directive. Any institution whose name does not appear on the list is considered non-compliant and remains in breach of the directive.
