In a bold move to bolster transparency and fiscal accountability, Ghana has initiated its most extensive mining sector audit in ten years, focusing particularly on major gold producers.
The nationwide effort, which commenced on 1 November 2025 and is slated to conclude in June 2026, aims to recover lost government revenues and reinforce regulatory compliance across the industry.
Spearheaded by a multidisciplinary team comprising government auditors, forensic accountants, and independent consultants, the audit will scrutinize both the physical operations and financial records of mining firms.
This comprehensive review underscores the government’s commitment to curbing revenue leakage, ensuring fair taxation, and restoring public trust in one of the country’s most vital economic sectors.
