MPS wins financial reporting award

MPS has (again) won the Government Finance Officers Association Certificate of Achievement for Financial Reporting.

From the September Board blue book:

The Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting has been awarded to the Board of School Directors — Milwaukee Public Schools by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) for its comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR). 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 entity and its management.

An Award of Financial Reporting Achievement has been awarded to Michelle Nate, Chief Financial and Operations Officer, as the one primarily responsible for preparing the award-winning CAFR.

The CAFR has been judged by an impartial panel to meet the high standards of the program, including demonstrating a constructive "spirit of full disclosure" to clearly communicate its financial story and to motivate potential users and user groups to read the CAFR.

The GFOA is a nonprofit professional association serving approximately 17,500 government finance professionals with offices in Chicago, IL, and Washington, D.C.
