Overview

Partnering for financial reporting excellence.

Our team assists governmental entities in preparing Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports (ACFRs) to meet the high standards required for the Government Finance Officers Association’s (GFOA) Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting Program. This prestigious program recognizes governments that demonstrate excellence in financial reporting and transparency. Our team provides expert guidance throughout the preparation process, helping our clients meet the stringent criteria set by the GFOA.

We assist in creating comprehensive financial reports that not only comply with standards but also enhance the clarity and accessibility of financial information for stakeholders. By participating in this program, our clients can showcase their commitment to fiscal responsibility and gain the trust of their communities, paving the way for informed decision-making and effective governance.

Technical expertise shared with you.

Six members of our firm serve as Technical Reviewers on the GFOA’s ACFR Review Committee. We utilize our observations and experiences from these reviews to offer valuable insights into reporting strategies and trends. This expertise allows us to provide effective feedback, ensuring your ability to earn the COA award.
