Ghana’s downstream petroleum sector has long held untapped potential for tax revenue, but unlocking it required more than just policy; it demanded purpose, precision, and innovation.
Pioneering with Purpose: The SML Legacy takes you on a compelling journey into how Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Ltd (SML) has become a catalyst for Africa's development by revolutionizing revenue assurance and plugging critical revenue leakages in the oil and gas industry.
Through groundbreaking audit and assurance systems and smart deployment of technology, SML has helped to close the revenue gap, boosting tax revenue and strengthening the nation’s economic foundations.
This documentary reveals how SML’s innovative solutions have reshaped Ghana’s downstream petroleum operations and are set to replicate the same in the upstream and gold sectors, ensuring transparency, efficiency, and accountability.
But beyond systems and data, it’s a story of purpose, demonstrating how local expertise is driving national growth and inspiring a new legacy for sustainable development across the continent.
Join us to learn how a Ghanaian company is not only transforming an industry but redefining what it means to pioneer with purpose.

The Volume Gap in the Tax Revenue System
Before SML’s intervention, the downstream petroleum sector recorded a staggering volume gap of approximately 3.2 billion litres between products lifted for sale and volumes declared for tax purposes over just 16 months. This translated into a potential revenue loss of over GHS 4.6 billion.

The Downstream Process
Refined products arrive in Ghana through imports by BDCs and are stored in depots using pipelines and tanks. When BDCs sell to OMCs, waybills are issued, and products are loaded onto tanker trucks for delivery to filling stations for retail. However, the problem occurs at this stage, where trucks lift the product and leave the depots. Weak oversight at this point creates vulnerabilities, with volumes often under-reported or declared "lost," leading to significant revenue losses for the state.

Data Gap Between NPA & GRA
Over GHS 3.2 billion in tax revenue losses to the state have been curbed, yet similar risks may still exist in other key sectors, such as the extractive industries. - Data Gap Between NPA & GRA.

Dr. Yaa Serwaa Sarpong, Director of Support Services (SML), highlights the major challenges the GRA faced in the downstream petroleum sector before SML's intervention.
Processes were largely manual and vulnerable to human error waybills were stored in sacks, and GRA officials relied on dipsticks at depots to measure fuel volumes. These waybills, often referred to as the “pink sheets,” represent vital national data.
