Controller and Accountant-General’s Department (CAGD) has officially commenced this month's payroll validation exercise, calling on all designated validators across the public sector to take immediate action.
This routine but important process forms part of efforts to ensure accuracy, transparency, and proper verification of all employee records on the government payroll system before salaries are processed. Validators are therefore expected to carefully review submitted details, confirm their correctness, and complete the validation within the stipulated period to support smooth and timely salary payments for all affected staff.
Payroll Validation Now Active
The Controller and Accountant-General’s Department (CAGD) has released the electronic salary payment voucher for the current month. All validators are required to access the system and complete their validation duties promptly.
This process ensures that all employee records are properly checked and confirmed before salary processing begins.
How to Complete the Validation
Validators are required to log into the official GoG payroll validation portal at: https://www.gogepv.com/
After logging in, they should carefully review each electronic salary payment voucher and verify that all details are accurate and correctly captured.
Deadline for Completion
The validation exercise is currently open and will remain active for five (5) days.
Validators are encouraged to complete their work early to avoid delays in salary processing.
Importance of the Exercise
▪ Confirm staff postings and management units
▪ Verify salary grades and personal records
▪ Ensure only eligible employees remain on the payroll
▪ Support accurate and timely salary payments
Salary processing is only finalized after validation is fully completed.
Important Instructions for Specific Cases
▪ Validators handling staff who have changed management units should coordinate with previous validators for proper confirmation
▪ Staff awaiting reposting or transfer must still be validated to maintain payroll continuity
▪ Any Ghana Card-related updates will reflect in the next validation cycle

Validators facing challenges such as login issues or system errors are advised to contact their HR or administrative units for support. Official CAGD channels may also be used for guidance.
