Franklin Receives Financial Reporting Award

The Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting has been awarded to the City of Franklin 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 presented to the City’s Finance Department, which is primarily responsible for preparing the award-winning financial report. The report 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 report.

“This award truly is remarkable,” said City Administrator Eric Stuckey. “This is the 25th consecutive year we have achieved this honor. As you can see, City staff is dedicated to handling taxpayer dollars responsibly.”

The GFOA is a nonprofit association serving approximately 17,500 government finance professionals with offices in Chicago, IL, and Washington, D.C.
