HPLD Once Again Receives Government Finance Officers Association Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting AND Distinguished Budget Presentation Award
That’s right!
Forget the Oscars!
Grammy who?
HPLD continues to clean up when it comes to Government Finance Officers Association awards, the only awards that really matter!
First up, we’ve got the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting. Some of the standards include
…demonstrating a constructive ‘spirit of full disclosure’ to clearly communicate its financial story and motivate potential users and user groups to read the report.
Well, not too bad, eh? It’s no small feat to create a financial report that’s meant for people to actually read!
Then we’ve got our Distinguished Budget Presentation Award.
According to GFOA:
This award is the highest form of recognition in governmental budgeting. Its attainment represents a significant achievement by your organization.
You read that right: The HIGHEST form of recognition in governmental budgeting.
If it sounds like we’re bragging, it’s because we are.
Our Finance department, or, as we call them, Natalie and Hannah, do an awesome job of keeping track of where the money is coming from, where it goes, and how to make the best possible use of it.
And if you’re not excited about this, GET EXCITED. Because it’s your money!
That cash they’re handling doesn’t just come from some angel investor or some kind of eccentric billionaire or some well-used object that granted one of our previous Executive Directors with three wishes—it comes from you!
So let’s all give it up for our Finance Department, who aren’t only doing a great job managing your money, they’re also doing a great job doing it in a transparent, ethical, well-reported way!
