The Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting has been awarded to Granville County by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) of the U.S. and Canada for its comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR). The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting.
The Award of Financial Reporting Achievement was presented to the county’s Finance Department, which is led by Finance Director Steve McNally.
The CAFR is judged by an impartial panel. Criteria includes the demonstration of a constructive “spirit of disclosure” to clearly communicate the financial story, as well as efforts to motivate potential users and user groups to read the annual report.
Granville County has received this award for the past 19 consecutive years.
