Miami-Dade County has been awarded the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting, the highest form of recognition for excellence in state and local government financial reporting, for its FY2022 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) as prepared by the Finance Department.
Miami-Dade County has received this prestigious award 43 times since its participation in the GFOA certificate program.
“Congratulations to our Finance Director, Barbara Gomez, and to these exemplary departments for this well-deserved recognition,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “They have demonstrated that not only do they deliver excellence every day to our residents, but also demonstrate excellence in their financial reporting and internal processes. We are so proud of them and of all our county departments who work so hard to serve our residents every day.”
The GFOA encourages and recognizes the highest standards in government accounting and financial reporting in the United States of America and Canada. By way of this award of excellence, the GFOA recognizes only those annual financial reports that go beyond the minimum requirements of generally accepted accounting principles to prepare annual comprehensive financial reports that evidence the spirit of transparency and full disclosure.
To achieve the recognition of excellence, applicants must demonstrate competence in reporting in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles, compliance with finance-related legal and contractual provisions, and thoroughness in disclosure and detail sufficiency.
