The Internal Audit Agency (IAA) has disclosed that public institutions like the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Health and public universities have emerged as institutions with the most payroll infractions over the period.
This was revealed when the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) visited the Internal Audit Agency to monitor its payroll under the National Payroll Monitoring Exercise.
The Commission a week ago announced it intended exercise to rid government’s payroll of infractions and other anomalies that need to be corrected.
The Director General of Internal Audit Agency, Dr. Eric Oduro Osae Addressing the media when the commission made its first stop at the Internal Audit Agency, Dr. Oduro said these infractions will burden government’s finances if not checked.
He said the Ministry of Finance has been advised to delete the names of staff captured in these payroll infractions.
He clarified that the payroll infractions are not across the entire public sector but selected public sector institutions.
The Chief Executive Officer for the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, Benjamin Arthur Speaking at the engagement said the commission ahead of the exercise warned individuals and heads of government institutions to desist from such acts.
