EACC honored for excellence in financial accountability
8:12:2025: The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has been recognized for its excellence in financial accountability and reporting, earning a prestigious Financial Reporting (FiRe) Award for outstanding performance.
The accolade follows the Commission’s receipt of an unmodified (clean) audit opinion from the Office of the Auditor-General for the 2024/2025 financial year.
The award was presented on Friday, the 5th, during a ceremony held at the Safari Park Hotel. Widely regarded as the premier financial reporting honours in East and Central Africa, the FiRe Awards are organized by the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) in partnership with the Capital Markets Authority (CMA), the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE), and the Public Sector Accounting Standards Board (PSASB).
The initiative aims to promote excellence in financial reporting, strengthen corporate governance, and enhance transparency in corporate, environmental, and social practices across institutions in the region.
The 2025 ceremony, themed “Fostering Compliance to International Standards to Enhance Transparency, Comparability & Accountability,” brought together representatives from the public and private sectors, along with key stakeholders in finance, governance, and regulation. Speakers urged institutions to uphold transparency, accountability, integrity, and sound governance to reinforce public trust in service delivery.
EACC Director of Finance and Planning, CPA Joel Mukumu, received the certificate of recognition on behalf of the Commission under the Commissions and Independent Offices – IPSAS Accrual category.
The Commission reiterated its commitment to the highest standards of accountability, prudent management of public resources, and adherence to professional and ethical principles—values that continue to underpin its consistently positive audit outcomes.
