Accra, March 21, - The Ministry of Finance has launched a Public Financial Management (PFM) Compliance League Table to promote transparency, accountability, and fiscal discipline in the management of public resources.
The League Table serves as a performance benchmarking tool, measuring how effectively public institutions adhere to the Public Financial Management Act, 2016 (Act 921), its regulations, and other relevant laws. This initiative fulfills the government’s 2025 Budget commitment to publish an objective, evidence-based assessment of compliance across the public sector.
According to the Ministry, the ranking system is designed to encourage continuous improvement, identify institutions with compliance gaps, and support targeted corrective actions and stronger enforcement measures. Entities with low scores will receive guidance from the Ministry’s PFM Compliance Division to strengthen their financial management systems.
