IAA DONATES TO UPSA

On 19th September, 2022, the Director-General of the Internal Audit Agency (IAA), Dr. E.O. Osae paid a visit on the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), Prof. Abednego F.O. Amartey to make a donation of twenty (20) copies of his book “Fiscal Decentralization and Financial Management Practices of Sub-National Governments: Evidence from Ghana”. This was done in appreciation of the support the IAA received from the institution during its recent 2022 Annual Internal Audit Conference.

Prof. Amartey in his welcome address, said he was glad to have the Director-General and stressed that it was a double joy because Dr. Osae was an alumnus of the UPSA. He added that the institution was proud of his exploits.

Giving the purpose of the visit, Dr. Osae thanked leadership of the institution for the opportunity given to the Agency to hold the 2022 Annual Internal Audit Conference in the UPSA Auditorium. He continued that it was like a homecoming since about 80% of the Agency’s staff are past students of the institution. He mentioned that this year’s Conference has been one of the best so far and the feedback is that the venue should not be changed. He reiterated that the visit was to thank Management and donate copies of his book which he said could be used by students of financial management and public sector accounting. He hinted that the Institute of Chartered Accounting, Ghana (ICAG) has added it to its public sector accounting reading list. Dr. Osae said copies of the book can be obtained on Amazon and from the University of Ghana Bookshop.

In his closing remarks, Prof. Amartey thanked the Director-General and said he would ensure it is placed on the student reading list and lecturers use it.
