The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has dismissed media reports suggesting that the recent Performance Audit Report of the Auditor-General uncovered corruption, financial misappropriation or revenue losses at the Authority.
In a statement issued on Monday, July 20, 2026, the NPA said the Auditor-General’s report, which assessed its operations from 2023 to 2025, did not establish any financial or revenue loss to the Authority.
According to the NPA, media publications characterising the report as evidence of “rot”, corruption or financial misappropriation were inaccurate and did not reflect the actual findings contained in the Auditor-General’s Performance Audit Report.
The Authority further noted that one of the publications failed to include management’s response to the audit findings, resulting in an incomplete and misleading presentation of the report.
Reaffirming its commitment to transparency, accountability and sound corporate governance, the NPA said it would continue to engage constructively with the Audit Service and implement appropriate recommendations aimed at strengthening regulatory oversight, improving operational efficiency and enhancing consumer protection within Ghana’s downstream petroleum sector.
The Authority urged the public to rely only on its official communications for accurate information regarding the Auditor-General’s report and related matters.
