Every year, Ghana loses billions of cedis through Illicit Financial Flows (IFFs). IFFs are monies that are illegally earned, transferred, or hidden across borders. These losses often come from tax evasion, corruption, illegal mining, smuggling, and shady business deals. The impact of IFFs is huge. It diverts funds meant for the construction of schools, hospitals, roads and other essential services that are crucial for the improvement of the quality of life. However, high-quality and impactful journalism can play a critical role in exposing these hidden financial crimes and contribute to holding the powerful people and institutions accountable.
