The Office of the Dean of Students has organised a workshop for newly elected leaders

 of the Students Representative Council (SRC-UCC), Graduate Students Association of Ghana (GRASAG-UCC), and the Junior Common Room Committee (JCRC-UCC) of the various Halls of Residence.

Mr. Samuel Kwame Anyan, a Senior Internal Auditor of the Directorate of Internal Audit, educated the student leaders on Public Financial Management, Budgeting, and Asset Management. He explained that public officials had a responsibility towards citizens when they use the finances in the public coffers. They must act in the best interests of the people that they represent. He said, “Once you are leading a group and in charge of the finances, you are expected to follow certain rules, certain guidelines, and you are accountable for the finances put in your care. As leaders, you are expected to be accountable and transparent”.
