Adenipekun spoke while announcing the release of the results of the November/December 2015 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for private candidates at the council’s headquarters in Yaba, Lagos, Thursday.
He spoke in response to questions about the council’s readiness to face a planned probe by the Federal Government announced earlier this week.
The WAEC Boss, who stepped into the office of HNO just last week, said the council’s accounts audits are up to date.
He said: “WAEC is an international organisation that relies mostly on best practices in management. WAEC Nigeria and WAEC in other member-countries owe it a duty that their financial records must be updated every year such that as I am speaking with you, the audited account of Council is up to date – that is as at December 2014. And that audited account has gone through the required processes. And the Council at the highest level has also approved that. And that audited account for 2014 and all other previous years are available for scrutiny.
“And of course, our internal processes and procedures as far as financial management is concerned are also unbeatable. The internal audit department of WAEC is arranged and organised in such a way that they are serving (as) a good watchdog to ensure that financial mismanagement is never allowed. And when and where it is detected, it is promptly reported, and prompt action is also taken to correct it. In that light therefore, the Council in Nigeria is ever ready to open its books for scrutiny – not only for financial mismanagement but it might also be for commendation – for Government to commend WAEC for having done a good job in managing its finances.”
