The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has inaugurated a new audit committee as part of efforts to strengthen its internal controls, risk management and oversight systems.
The committee was inaugurated on Monday, August 10, 2026, by the Acting Deputy Director-General in charge of Finance, Administration and Support Services at the Internal Audit Agency (IAA), Bismark Aborbi-Ayitey, on behalf of Acting Director-General Conrad Z. Dumbah.
Mr Aborbi-Ayitey reminded the committee that its mandate is backed by law and urged members to maintain confidentiality, submit their reports promptly and ensure that audit recommendations are followed through.
He also encouraged the committee to work closely with EOCO’s internal audit unit to improve the institution’s internal control systems and address weaknesses that could expose it to risks.
The Executive Director of EOCO, Raymond Archer, welcomed the new members and thanked the outgoing committee for their service and contribution to the institution.
Mr Archer cautioned that unresolved audit infractions could undermine EOCO’s credibility and assured the new committee of management’s full support as it works to improve the organisation’s internal audit processes.
Nathan Yankey, a representative of the Internal Audit Agency, was subsequently elected Chairperson of the new committee.
In his acceptance remarks, Mr Yankey thanked members for the confidence reposed in him and pledged to lead efforts to resolve outstanding audit issues while strengthening EOCO’s audit and risk management systems.
