The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has rejected media claims alleging corruption and financial misappropriation in relation to the Auditor-General’s Performance Audit Report on the operations of the Authority from 2023 to 2025.
In a statement issued on Monday, July 20, 2026, the NPA said the audit report did not establish any financial or revenue loss to the Authority, stressing that allegations of “rot”, corruption and financial wrongdoing were not findings contained in the document.
The Authority said it had taken note of a publication by The NewsCenta newspaper commenting on the Auditor-General’s report, but indicated that the publication failed to include management’s responses to the audit findings.
“The Auditor-General’s report does not establish any financial loss or revenue loss to the National Petroleum Authority,” the statement said.
The NPA reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, accountability and effective corporate governance, adding that it would continue to work with the Audit Service to implement recommendations aimed at improving its operations.
According to the Authority, the measures would help strengthen regulatory oversight, enhance operational efficiency and improve consumer protection within Ghana’s downstream petroleum sector.
The NPA urged the public to rely on official communications from the Authority for accurate information regarding the matter.
