Who we are

A mandate written into law, not just into our job titles.

Resource Mobilisation & Finance is the directorate of the Council for Legal Education and Training responsible for the institution's money matters, from the fees paid for examinations and training to the grants, salaries, and payments that keep the Council running.

We exist because the Legal Education Act requires CLET to manage public and institutional funds with discipline, transparency, and accountability to the Auditor-General, the Board, and the wider public. That obligation shapes how fees are set, how budgets are built, how payments are approved, and how the books are closed and reported.

In practice, that makes us the directorate every other part of CLET eventually depends on, because nearly everything CLET does, from enrolling a student to commissioning an examiner, has a financial consequence we are responsible for handling correctly.

A statutory foundation

Our authority and obligations come directly from the Legal Education Act, not internal policy alone.

Built for accountability

Every transaction we process leaves a permanent, auditable trail by design, not as an afterthought.

Open about how money moves

Directorates can see their own budgets; the Board and the Auditor-General can see everything.

Priority areas

What matters most in our work

Our focus is on the areas that protect trust, strengthen planning, and keep the Council financially ready for tomorrow.

Financial discipline

Every commitment is reviewed against policy, budget and approval rules before it moves forward.

Transparent reporting

Board members, management and oversight bodies receive clear reports that explain what happened and why.

Service reliability

Students, suppliers and staff can depend on timely receipts, payments, and answers to financial questions.

What we do

Five responsibilities, one financial backbone

Our work spans the full life of CLET's money, from setting what is owed to collecting it, spending it responsibly, and proving that it was handled correctly.

Fees & billing

We set and maintain the fee schedules for tuition, the Bar Examination, accreditation, certification and short courses, and make sure every invoice issued is accurate, timely, and properly approved.

Payments & collections

Whether someone is paying us by mobile money, bank transfer or card, or we're paying a supplier, a staff member or a scholarship recipient, we make sure the money moves correctly and on time.

Budgeting & planning

We build the annual budget, allocate it across directorates, and keep a constant check on spending so CLET never commits to money it doesn't have.

Reconciliation & close

Every day, every month, every quarter, we match what's been collected and spent against the ledger, and close each period cleanly so the accounts are never in doubt.

Reporting & audit support

We produce the financial statements and management reports the Board and the Auditor-General rely on, and keep the records ready for review at any time.

Compliance & tax

We file CLET's statutory tax obligations with the Ghana Revenue Authority and make sure our practices stand up to scrutiny from regulators and oversight bodies alike.

Leadership

Oversight

The Auditor-General

Granted standing, read-only access to the accounts as the law requires.

Regulators

Ghana Revenue Authority & Bank of Ghana

How we work

Four principles behind every decision we make

None of these are unique to us, but together they shape how we handle every transaction, large or small.

Approval before action

Nothing significant moves, including a new fee, a large payment, or a budget change, without the right person having signed off first.

Nothing spent that isn't budgeted

We check available budget before any commitment is made, so CLET never finds itself short.

A record for everything

Every fee, payment, and adjustment is logged permanently, not as paperwork, but as the basis of trust.

Closed books stay closed

Once a month is closed, it's closed. Corrections happen transparently, in the open, in the next period.

Accountability

Trust is not something we ask for. It is something we must earn every period.

CLET handles public trust as much as it handles public funds. That is why our work is structured around independent checks, with separate approval tiers for different payment sizes, a standing audit trail that cannot be quietly altered, and direct read-only access for the Auditor-General's Department at all times.

We see this not as a constraint, but as the reason our work matters.

Independent audit access

The Auditor-General's Department holds standing, read-only access to our accounts at all times.

Tiered approvals

Larger payments require sign-off from more senior officers, so no single person can approve everything alone.

Quarterly reporting to the Board

Financial performance is presented to the Board every quarter, with a formal review window before publication.
