Auditor’s office wins award for financial report
Press release from the Butler County Auditor’s Office:
Butler County Auditor Roger Reynolds has received awards of outstanding achievement from the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada for the two county financial reports produced by the Auditor’s office and submitted for review in 2008.
Both the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and the Popular Annual Financial Report for the year ended Dec. 31, 2007 met the stringent requirements of the GFOA for award recognition.
“Awards are nice but what is more important to me is that we run a professional, efficient office for the taxpayers of this county,” said Auditor Reynolds. “What these awards signify to me is that the professionalism I expect from not only my staff, but myself as well, is reflected in our work on these financial reports.”
The Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting Program recognizes those state and local governments that go beyond the minimum requirements of generally accepted accounting principles to prepare comprehensive annual financial reports that provide transparency and full disclosure.
Reports submitted to the CAFR program are reviewed by selected members of the GFOA professional staff and the GFOA Special Review Committee, which comprises individuals with expertise in public-sector financial reporting and includes financial statement preparers, independent auditors, academics and other finance professionals.
The Popular Annual Financial Reporting Awards Program recognizes individual governments that are successful in extracting information from their CAFR to produce a high quality popular annual financial report specifically designed to be readily accessible and easily understandable to the general public and other interested parties without a background in public finance.
Popular annual financial reports submitted to the PAFR Program are reviewed by selected members of the GFOA professional staff and by outside reviewers with experience in governmental accounting and financial reporting.
