BCVWD Receives Excellence in Financial Reporting Award for Third Consecutive Year
Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District (BCVWD) is proud to announce that it has received the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) for the District’s 2019 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR).
This marks the third consecutive year BCVWD has earned this recognition. The District’s Accounting and Finance staff prepared its third Annual Comprehensive Financial Report in early 2020 for Fiscal Year 2019 and submitted it to GFOA for review. In February 2021, the District was notified that its 2019 ACFR had earned the Certificate of Achievement.
Excellence in Financial Reporting
GFOA established the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting Program in 1945 to encourage state and local governments to go beyond the minimum requirements of generally accepted accounting principles and prepare comprehensive annual financial reports that demonstrate transparency and full disclosure.
The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in governmental accounting and financial reporting, and earning the award represents a significant accomplishment for a public agency and its management.
Reports submitted to the program undergo a professional review by GFOA staff and members of its Special Review Committee. Reviewers include individuals with expertise in public-sector financial reporting, including financial statement preparers, independent auditors, academics, and other finance professionals.
Three Consecutive Years of Excellence
Receiving the award for a third consecutive year reflects BCVWD’s continued commitment to providing comprehensive and transparent financial information to its Board of Directors, customers, and community.
Beginning with the District’s first Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, BCVWD has continued to meet the high standards established by GFOA for excellence in governmental accounting and financial reporting. BCVWD is proud to receive this recognition for the third year in a row and remains committed to transparency, accountability, and responsible financial management in its service to the community.
