Under the EOCO Act 2010 (Act 804), EOCO is responsible for investigating and prosecuting organized economic crimes, recovering funds from these types of operations and providing intelligence to the relevant authorities.

The agency remains committed to preserving the integrity of Ghana’s economic system and ensuring justice, under the leadership of Executive Director Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah.

To maintain public trust and support its initiatives to combat financial crimes, EOCO calls on all citizens to work together.

Fighting crime in Ghana is critical to ensuring social stability, economic growth and public trust in institutions. Financial crimes such as money laundering and fraud undermine economic stability, deter foreign investment and slow down development. Violent crimes and corruption undermine public safety and trust in governance, creating an environment of fear and inequality. Strengthening the rule of law, improving police resources and promoting cooperation between law enforcement and communities are critical.

Furthermore, investments in technology and education can address the root causes of crime and create opportunities that divert individuals from illegal activities. A concerted effort to fight crime is not just a legal obligation, but a path to securing a prosperous and just society.
