Audit of the National Cathedral Project by Deloitte

Deloitte, a global accounting firm, has been hired by the National Cathedral Board of Trustees to conduct the project's statutory review. 

This is in line with current issues that have shaped the building process. In a statement from, the Board's Chair, Apostle Prof. Opoku Onyinah, said, 

"The Board is already in talks to hire Deloitte, who agreed to be the auditors at the National Cathedral's registration, to begin normal statutory auditing.

" After all relevant documents were submitted to Parliament in December, the Executive Board has indicated that it is willing to submit to independent scrutiny by Parliament.

"In addition, in December 2022, the Board of Directors presented Parliament with all pertinent project documents. 

As a result, Parliament has the authority to appoint a commission or an independent auditor to investigate all aspects of the National Cathedral project's procurement, civil works, and financial operations up to this point.

 Additionally, the board is prepared to submit to any state institution's scrutiny, including the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Judiciary (CHRAJ)." One of the most contentious initiatives undertaken by the Akufo Addo administration was the construction of the national cathedral.

 The President has made it clear that he will do everything in his power to ensure that the project is completed, despite the fact that some members of the public are calling for it to be put on hold because of the current state of the economy.

Rev. Kusi Boateng, Secretary of the Board of Trustees, was the target of numerous accusations made by Northern Tongu MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, who claimed that Boateng had multiple identities and had received approximately 2.6 million GHC for performing no work.

 Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, founder and director of Action Chapel International, and Rev. Eastwood Anaba, president of Eastwood Anaba Ministries, two members of the Board of Trustees, have requested an immediate stay at the National Cathedral Building while the project is being considered.

The distinguished clergymen also wrote to the Board that the current economic climate in Ghana makes it impossible to finish the project on time, so they asked for it to be put on hold until the country's economy improved. The National Cathedral's timely construction and completion are hindered by Ghana's current economic climate.

 We, therefore resolve, that the National Cathedral Trustees appoint an independent, nationally recognized accounting firm to audit all public funds donated to and spent by the National Cathedral,” the two ministers stated, "in the spirit and matter of transparency and accountability to the people of Ghana."
