ODPP recogised for financial integrity after unqualified audit

The institution received a Certificate of Recognition at the 2025 Financial Reporting (FiRe) Awards as it was recognised for attaining an unqualified audit opinion under the Commissions and Independent Offices category reporting through the IPSAS Cash Basis framework.

The ODPP on Tuesday said the recognition underscores Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Renson Ingonga’s emphasis on transparency, accountability, and robust public financial management. 

An unqualified audit opinion, commonly known as a clean audit, represents the highest level of assurance auditors can issue, confirming that financial statements are free from material misstatements and fully compliant with established standards.

Ingonga welcomed the honour, describing it as a validation of ongoing reforms within the office.

The DPP affirmed his commitment to sustaining strict financial discipline and ensuring the prosecution office continues to meet the highest standards of prudence and accountability.

The FiRe awards programme is jointly organized by leading regulatory and professional bodies, including the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya, the Capital Markets Authority, and the Nairobi Securities Exchange. 

Their collaboration seeks to enhance the credibility, accuracy, and reliability of financial reporting, ultimately strengthening investor confidence and public trust.
