Gold Supply Reconciliation Bureau (GSRB) – Neutral Third-Party Settlement Service

A licensed, independent reconciliation service that acts as a trusted intermediary between Ghana's gold suppliers and the Bank of Ghana. GSRB collects verified supply documentation (assay reports, shipping manifests, payment receipts) from suppliers, aggregates and standardizes the data into a single reconciliation ledger, and submits a monthly certified reconciliation report to BoG with itemized discrepancies flagged for resolution. Suppliers access a secure portal showing their individual position (owed, over-supplied, or settled) in real-time.

Original Problem

Gold mining companies and suppliers struggle to reconcile massive supply gaps and payment discrepancies with central banking authorities

Ghana's gold suppliers face a GH¢3.78 billion net supply gap with the Bank of Ghana, creating critical cash flow problems, accounting reconciliation nightmares, and regulatory compliance risks. Mining companies and gold dealers cannot accurately track whether they're owed money, have over-supplied, or face penalties, leaving them unable to plan operations or secure financing. Current manual reconciliation processes between multiple suppliers and the central bank fail to provide real-time visibility into supply positions and payment obligations.
