Annual Comprehensive Financial Report

The Government Finance Officers’ Association recommends that local governments publish within (6) six months of the close of each fiscal year a complete set of financial statements presented in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by a firm of licensed certified public accountants. 

Awards and acknowledgements

The GFOA established the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting Program 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.

In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, the government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized Annual Comprehensive Financial Report.  The reports submitted for the Village of Pinecrest satisfy both GAAP and applicable legal requirements. The Village has received this prestigious award every year since inception.
