Across the African continent, an increasingly common but deeply damaging misconception has begun to influence the behaviour of certain public institutions: the belief that releasing audited financial statements during an ongoing investigation undermines the inquiry. In the name of caution, and sometimes in the name of internal “procedure”, institutions delay or withhold documents that, by statute and international governance norms, should already be in the public domain. This belief does not protect institutions. It weakens them. It erodes confidence, compromises credibility, and diminishes the moral authority of the very entities meant to serve the public good.
