Lack of Supporting Documents for Payments at Asante Akim South Municipal Assembly

It has been noted that management of Asante Akim South Municipal Assembly made payments totaling GH¢10,440.00 in respect of goods and services on 41 payment vouchers without supporting them with relevant transaction documents such as receipts, invoices, statement of claims, certificates of claims, etc to authenticate the transactions.
The anomaly occurred because the authorizing officers failed to ensure that the transactions documents such as receipts, invoices and statements of claim among others were obtained before or during payments.
This cast doubts over the judicious use of public funds as it could lead to misappropriation and misapplication of funds.
