Receive the GFOA Award for Excellence in Financial Reporting

Missouri City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) was judged by an impartial panel of the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) and determined to have met the high standards of its Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Finance Reporting (COA) program, which includes demonstrating a constructive “spirit of full disclosure” to clearly communicate its financial story and motivate potential users and user groups to read the ACFR.

The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management.

GFOA established the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting Program (COA) in 1945 to encourage and assist state and local governments to go beyond the minimum requirements of generally accepted accounting principles to prepare annual comprehensive financial reports that evidence the spirit of transparency and full disclosure and then to recognize individual governments that succeed in achieving that goal.
