Mr Daniel Yaw Domelevo, the Auditor General, has appealed to the Health Accounting Staff Association of Ghana (HASAG) to support government in the fight against corruption and help improve health delivery.
He said it is the duty of the auditors and accountants to protect the public purse and other resources in the public sector to enhance transparency and accountability in the country.
Mr Domelevo said this over the weekend when he addressed the Health Accounting Staff Association of Ghana (HASAG) at their 11th Annual General Conference held in Tamale.
The event was held under the theme: “Effective audit report implementation, responsibilities of the health finance professional”.
The conference was to address some of the challenges affecting the Association and to also take stock of activities over the past year.
Dr Anthony Nsiah-Asare, the Director General of the Ghana Health Service (GHS), in a speech read on his behalf, advised HASAG to pay attention to the weak budgetary control systems which has contributed to the poor management of funds in the health sector.
