This award recognizes municipalities that produce clear, organized, and comprehensive financial reports that go beyond the basic requirements of generally accepted accounting principles. These reports must effectively communicate the municipality’s financial status and enhance understanding for users. The award encourages municipalities to strive for transparency and quality in financial reporting, providing peer recognition and technical guidance to those preparing these reports.
