For the 30th year in a row, Osceola County has received the highest honor in governmental accounting and financial reporting.
Osceola County has been awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for its comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ending by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA).
“When you think about the financial markets over the past three decades, these consecutive awards are a significant accomplishment for the County,” said Osceola Commission Chairman Brandon Arrington. “This recognition is indicative of the county’s diligence and professionalism in being a good steward when accounting for and protecting the public’s money.”
The CAFR has been judged by an impartial panel to meet the high standards of the program, which includes demonstrating a constructive “spirit of full disclosure” to clearly communicate its financial story and motivate potential users and user groups to read the report.
The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management.
GFOA is a nonprofit professional association that advances excellence in government finance by providing best practices, professional development, resources, and practical research for more than 21,000 members and the communities they serve.
