There has been a call for the University of Ghana (UG) to seriously investigate the inclusion of forensic investigation programs in its academic offerings.
According to Alfred Aryee, a partner at the chartered accountancy company Makers and Partners, this will give students the opportunity to gain the necessary skills that are required to assist in addressing issues in Ghana that are related to fraud.
The purpose of a forensic investigation is to arrive at a conclusion about a suspect by collecting and examining all of the physical evidence that is connected to a crime.
The comments were made by Mr. Aryee during an interview that took place on the margins of a thanksgiving service that was organized by the University as part of its commemoration of its 75th anniversary.
In addition, the Management and Staff of UG conducted Muslim prayers in the Legon Central Mosque as part of the event that was supported by Makers and Partners.
An alumnus of the university, Mr. Aryee, stated that the introduction of forensic investigation programs as part of the University's endeavor to achieve higher heights would provide the human resource that would boost forensic investigation agencies in the country. Mr. Aryee graduated from the University of Ghana.
He emphasized once again that forensic investigation is essential to the functioning of the criminal justice system because it offers investigators and judges information that is scientific and foundational in nature.
Mr. Aryee also emphasized the significance of internship programs, arguing that they should be required of students and should be tailored to the students' intended fields of study.
According to him, this would provide students with the opportunity to gain practical experience, which in turn would assist them in developing their interests and capabilities in the business world.
"The programs should be graded as part of their results, and Makers and Partners are open for such internship programmes," he added. "Makers and Partners are open for such internship programmes."
In her own speech, the Vice Chancellor of the University of Ghana, Professor Nana Aba Appiah Amfo, expressed appreciation to God on the occasion of the university's celebration of 75 years of academic achievement; 75 years of educating high-quality human resources for not only Ghana, but also the African continent and the rest of the globe.
She reported to the Ghana News Agency that while she was in office, the University of Ghana began on a variety of technology-driven programs, such as 'Classroom Modernisation,' 'One Student One Laptop,' and 'Hot-spot Comfort Zones,' all of which are aimed at increasing teaching and learning in some way.
According to Professor Amfo, "In general, we strive to give our students an excellent experience while they are here on campus. This allows us to give them the necessary skills for the 21st century and prepare them for the fourth industrial revolution."
