\"\"<\/a>Mr Albert Kan Dapaah, Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament, has called for punitive sanctions against heads of schools that fail to comply with proper accounting procedures.<\/p>\n

This, he said, would make them to sit up and ensure good financial management practices.<\/p>\n

Mr Kan Dapaah was winding up the Committee\u2019s sitting in Kumasi to consider the Auditor-General\u2019s report on pre-university educational institutions in Ashanti and Brong-Ahafo for the period 2006 to 2008.<\/p>\n

In all, 61 schools in the two regions appeared before it to answer audit queries ranging from unsupported payments, payments on unearned salaries, non-payments of withholding taxes and deductions, purchases from non-VAT registered suppliers, uncompetitive procurements to improper filing of documents.<\/p>\n

Mr Kan Dapaah said the Ghana Education Service (GES) must hold headmasters and headmistresses responsible for any acts of omission or commission leading to financial malfeasance in their schools.<\/p>\n

It should not be lost on them as heads that they have responsibility to make sure that proper accounting procedures are upheld.<\/p>\n

He counselled them to work within the law as they exercised their discretionary powers to protect the public purse.<\/p>\n

Mr Joseph Kingsley Onyina, Ashanti Regional Director of Education, urged the heads to strive to be conversant with the rules on financial administration.<\/p>\n
