City receives Distinguished Budget Presentation Award

The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) of the United States and Canada recently announced that the City of Winter Park has received the GFOA’s Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its 2011 budget.

The GFOA award represents a significant achievement reflecting the commitment of city administration and staff to meeting the highest principles of governmental budgeting. In order to receive the distinguished award, Winter Park had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for an effective budget presentation which are designed to assess how well an entity’s budget serves as a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide and a communication device. Budget documents must be rated “proficient” in all four categories, as well as the 14 mandatory criteria within those categories to receive the award.

The GFOA is a nonprofit professional association serving over 17,600 government finance professionals throughout North America. The GFOA’s Distinguished Budget Presentation Awards Program is the only national awards program in governmental budgeting.
