In a strategic move aimed at ensuring continuity and efficiency within Ghana's financial sector, President Nana Addo-Dankwa Akufo-Addo has appointed Kwasi Agyei, a seasoned Chartered Accountant and member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants, Ghana, as the new acting Controller and Accountant-General.
This significant appointment comes in the wake of the resignation of Kwasi Kwaning-Bosompem, who held the position for nearly five years, marking a transition in leadership within the pivotal office responsible for the country's financial management.
Mr. Agyei officially assumed his new role following a seamless handover ceremony at the Treasury head office in Accra.

Recognizing the challenges ahead, Mr. Agyei underscored his commitment to creating a conducive work environment that fosters growth, acknowledges achievements, and prioritizes the well-being of employees. He urged all department staff to join him in his mission to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the Controller and Accountant-General's Department (CAGD).
The outgoing Controller and Accountant-General, Kwasi Kwaning-Bosompem, expressed confidence in Mr. Agyei's capabilities and welcomed the appointment from within the department, citing it as a morale booster for the staff. He highlighted the significant strides made during his tenure, particularly in technological advancements and public financial management policies.
Wisdom Komlan Messan, the Deputy Controller in charge of Audit and Investigations, echoed similar sentiments, assuring Mr. Agyei of the staff's unwavering support as he assumes his new responsibilities.
Mr. Kwasi Agyei brings to his new role over two decades of experience in the public sector, coupled with a strong academic background in Accounting, Finance, Economics, and Business Administration. His appointment signifies a continued commitment to professionalism and expertise in steering Ghana's financial administration towards greater heights.
