The Williamson County Auditor’s Office has received two awards for its financial reporting.
First, the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) of the United and States and Canada awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial reporting to Williamson County for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year that ended September 30, 2020. The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of government accounting and financial reporting. Its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management. This is the 30th year that the Williamson County Auditor’s Office has received this award.
Additionally, the Auditor’s Office has received GFOA’s Award for Outstanding Achievement in Popular Annual Financial Reporting. In order to be eligible for the award, a government must submit its comprehensive annual financial report to GFOA’s Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting Program and receive the certificate for the current fiscal year. Each eligible report is reviewed by judges based on the following categories: reader appeal, understandability, distribution methods, creativity and other elements.
“These awards reflect the high level of professionalism and standards of the county elected officials, department heads and employees,” said Jerri Jones, Williamson County Auditor. “I want to particularly thank the employees in the Auditor’s Office who do exceptional work each day to keep our financial reporting at the highest level possible.”
Copies of these reports are available to the public on the Auditor’s Office website.
