GFA had no auditor to audit budget we prepared – Mark Addo

The Vice President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Mark Addo has revealed that the football governing body in Ghana are presenting an unedited budget at the upcoming congress because it had no auditor.

The FA’s ordinary Congress slated for Tuesday, September 1, 2020, is the highest decision-making body of the GFA where all members of the GFA meet after every football season/calendar ends.

It is used as an avenue to make changes to the statutes that govern the game and also to usher in the new season.

“Sadly, the last congress failed to submit a proposed auditor because we couldn’t change the auditors then. To be able to get auditors, there is a process with guidelines that involve interviews, negotiations and all that is required but we couldn’t get that done due to the pandemic”.he revealed this on Nhyira FM in Kumasi.

The GFA has faced a difficult time running the association due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic in its 8-month reign as new leadership of the country’s football.

Mark Addo who is the head of the GFA’s finance committee explained their inability to submit detailed audited accounts at the congress.

The Nzema Kotoko director is hopeful that moving forward into their final 40 months, things will fall in place and the difficulties being faced will be a thing of the past.

“So this budget had to be presented but due to circumstances it was not submitted but as required by the statutes of the GFA, we are presenting the budget so it can be rectified. Unfortunately the actuals are not ready because of the appointment of the auditors but once it is ready, it will be presented at the next congress
