To be eligible for the award, entities must meet specific criteria upon filing a timely and accurate Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) with the State’s office. The report cannot contain any findings for recovery, material citations, material weaknesses, significant deficiencies, single audit findings or questioned costs.
“This award represents the hard work of every township employee who strives each day to achieve accounting excellence. Also, I want to recognize all the township officials that have done an excellent job accounting for every dollar in their offices and departments,” Holiday said.
