Investigation showed that the body inflated the dollar amount and paid US$986,024.16 instead of US$366,985, leading to an excess transfer of $619,039.16 “without authority.”
The Auditor General in his report said: “we urged management to recover the excess funds of $619,039.16 or provide justification for the transfer of the amount.”
Also, the report uncovered that six retired staff of EOCO enjoyed “unearned salaries totalling Gh¢22,067.78” between 2013 and 2014.
