Adams 14 recently received an award in recognition of its financial reporting division.

The Association of School Business Officials International (ASBO) presented Adams 14 with its Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting Program. This accolade, awarded for excellence in preparation and issuance of the fiscal year-end 2011 financial report, celebrates Adams 14’s high-quality Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR).

Sponsored by VALIC, the Certificate of Excellence (COE) award confirms the school business office’s commitment to financial accountability and transparency. Recognition through the COE program can help strengthen a district’s presentation for bond issuance statements and promotes a high level of financial reporting.

This is the second time ASBO has recognized Adams 14’s financial department for its work on the CAFR. The District was also awarded a Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting for the fiscal year-end 2009.

“Being recognized for our District’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report once again highlights the dedication and proficiency of our financial business staff,” said Dr. Susan Chandler, Adams 14 Superintendent. “The District’s approach to financial reporting creates transparency and enhances two-way communication opportunities with key stakeholders, as well as within the community we serve.”
