The Securities and Exchange Commission of Ghana mandates that auditors of public companies and SEC licensees obtain annual registration, maintain professional indemnity insurance, and secure written SEC approval for each audit engagement. These guidelines require auditors to remain independent, comply with IFAC ethics codes, and report fraud or money laundering matters to the Commission within seven days of discovery. Non-compliant auditors face suspension, registration cancellation, or sanctions under the Securities Industry Act 2016.
