City of Livermore Awarded Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting

The City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for fiscal year ending June 30, 2013 has been awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA).

The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in governmental accounting and financial reporting.

“This award underscores the high caliber of City talent, their high-regard for fiduciary responsibility and stewardship of the public’s dollars, and the City’s commitment to transparency in governance,” stated Mayor John Marchand. “The City’s Finance Division has received this award each year for over 20 years, and represents a long-standing tradition of responsible leadership.”  

The GFOA is a nonprofit professional association, and each submitted CAFR is judged by an impartial panel to meet the high standards of the program including demonstrating a constructive “spirit of full disclosure” to clearly communicate the financial story and motivate potential users and user groups to read the CAFR.
