In a public notice issued signed by Ms. Sandra Thompson, the Secretary of the Bank of Ghana, the central bank said the audit, is aimed to assess the remittance process and provide recommendations to strengthen the existing regulatory framework.

The audit will evaluate compliance with key regulations, including the Foreign Exchange Act 2006 (Act 723), the Updated Guidelines for Remittances, the Payment Services Act 2019 (Act 987), and the Anti-Money Laundering/Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT).

 The BoG urged all market participants to fully comply with these regulatory requirements.
