Dear Mr. Flynn:
We are pleased to notify you that your comprehensive annual finan-
cial report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 qualifies
for a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial
Reporting. The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of
recognition in governmental accounting and financial reporting,
and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a
government and its management.
When a Certificate of Achievement is awarded to a government, an
Award of Financial Reporting Achievement is also presented to the
individual designated by the government as primarily responsible
for its having earned the certificate. Enclosed is an Award of
Financial Reporting Achievement for: Ruby Paiste,
Accounting Manager and Jamie Moso,
Accounting Technician.
The Certificate of Achievement plaque will be shipped under sepa-
rate cover in about eight weeks. We hope that you will arrange for
a formal presentation of the Certificate and Award of Financial
Reporting Achievement, and that appropriate publicity will be
given to this notable achievement. To assist with this, a sample
news release and the 1997 Certificate Program results are enclosed.
We hope that your example will encourage other government offi-
cials in their efforts to achieve and maintain an appropriate
standard of excellence in financial reporting.
Sincerely,
GOVERNMENT FINANCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION
