Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML) has highlighted that the audit assurance report by KPMG confirmed that it has not received a payment of $100 million from the government.
The company emphasized that the KPMG report, as communicated through a press statement released by the Communications Director of the Presidency, Eugene Arhin, exonerated their position following the expose by The Fourth Estate.
In a press statement issued on Thursday, April 25, SML reaffirmed its commitment to contributing to Ghana’s development by adhering to ethically acceptable standards and maintaining the quality of its work.
The company emphasized its dedication to assisting in building a better Ghana for all citizens and stressed its commitment to ethical practices and maintaining high standards in its operations.
Moreover, SML mentioned that it has instructed its legal team to address other professional misjudgments identified in the KPMG report.
Following President Akufo-Addo’s directive on January 2 for an audit of the GRA-SML contract by KPMG, the audit report revealed that SML was paid a total of GH¢1,061,054,778.00 from 2018 to the present.
But Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Ltd (SML) has refuted claims that it received GH¢1,061,054,778.00 as compensation for its revenue mobilisation contract with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).
Regarding concerns about potential duplication of work by the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), SML clarified that it is not engaged in such practices.
