According to the Ministry, the league table also fulfills a key commitment made in the 2025 Budget Statement to publish an objective, evidence-based assessment of compliance with the Public Financial Management Act, 2016 (Act 921), the law governing the management of public finances in Ghana.
Among the institutions cited are the Office of the Legal Aid Commission, Minerals Income Investment Fund, Venture Capital Trust Fund, National Peace Council, Financial Intelligence Centre, Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, National Council for Curriculum and Assessment, National Media Commission, National Food Buffer Stock Company, Office of the Head of Civil Service, Ministry of Education Headquarters, Ghana Infrastructure Fund for Electronic Communications, Ghana National Fire Service, National Disaster Management Organization, among others.
The Ministry of Finance says it will engage institutions with low compliance scores to identify gaps in their financial management systems, while also taking firm and decisive action against persistent non-compliance.
