The Office of the Auditor General, Cross River State Government

Press Release:


In line with His Excellency’s good governance and accountability policy, the office of the Auditor General will be embarking an audit of the MDA’S. This is in line with the rising interest in improving governance, strengthening domestic accountability, transparency and inclusion.

It has been observed that:
i. Some MDA’s have not been audited for years, due to the uncooperative attitude of “Heads of MDA’s”, refusal to present books of account to auditors

ii. Most audited MDA’s have also refused to respond to audit queries, making it difficult to ascertain the true financial position of the MDA

iii. Audit engagement with MDA’s drag for too long as a result of the inability of MDA’s to promptly present financial records to Auditors

These obstructions delays and impedes quick expression of opinion on Government Annual Financial statement and constrains the State from competing effectively for national/international grants and donors support programmes.

In enhancing the effectiveness of the Audit function, His Excellency has graciously approved the WITHHOLDING OF ALL FUNDS, including IMPREST, accruing to any MDA that refuses to promptly allow Audit access to financial records and respond to Audit queries.



John M. Odey
Auditor General
