ANOKA, Minn. – (Dec. 8, 2015) – The Anoka County Finance and Central Services Division recently received the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), a professional organization representing 17,500 government finance professionals in the United States and Canada.
The Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting is the highest form of recognition for governmental budgeting, accounting, and financial reporting. It recognizes that the county’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) meets the highest standards, including demonstrating a “spirit of full disclosure” to clearly communicate its financial position to the public. This is the twenty-eighth consecutive year Anoka County has earned GFOA’s Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting.
“Our finance team is one of the best out there,” said Commissioner Matt Look, chair of the county’s Finance and Capital Improvements Committee. “To receive an award that only 15 out of 87 counties receive, for 28 straight years, is truly amazing! The Board of Commissioners thanks them once again for their outstanding service to our citizens.”
