Cary earns high recognition for its financial reporting

The Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting has been awarded to the village of Cary by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada for its comprehensive annual financial report.

The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of government accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management.

"This is the village's ninth straight Certificate of Achievement Award," said Barbara Hill, village trustee and Administration and Finance Committee chairperson. "The village staff is to be commended for their outstanding commitment to clear, concise and accurate financial reporting."

The village's financial report has been judged by an impartial panel to meet the high standards of the program, including demonstrating a constructive "spirit of full disclosure" to clearly communicate its financial story and motivate potential users and user groups to read the reports.

The Government Finance Officers Association is a nonprofit professional association serving approximately 17,000 government finance professionals with offices in Chicago and Washington, DC.
