The Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting has been
awarded to the City of Tigard by the Government Finance Officers Association of
• the United States and Canada (GFOA) 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, and its
attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its
management.
An Award of Financial Reporting Achievement has been awarded to the finance
department as primarily responsible for preparing the award-winning CAFR.
The CAFR 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 CAFR.
The GFOA is a nonprofit professional association serving approximately 14,000
government finance professionals with offices in Chicago, Illinois, and
Washington, D.C.
