PMMC audit delays not management’s fault – Former MD

In a statement issued on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, Mr Awuah said he had written to the Auditor-General on September 2, 2024, requesting a multi-year audit of the company’s books and accounts covering the five-year period.

Mr Awuah’s clarification follows reports from GoldBod’s engagement with Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee on Tuesday, which indicated that PMMC’s books had not been audited for the period until the new management requested an audit in 2025.

He explained that the delay in conducting the audits was attributable to bureaucratic challenges associated with the appointment of a new external auditor by the Ghana Audit Service, rather than any failure on the part of management.
