CITY EARNS FINANCIAL REPORTING RECOGNITION
New Haven – Mayor Harp today announced the special recognition and award the city received from the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA): its Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting.
“The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting,” according to a GFOA press release.
“I’m very proud of the thorough and effective work done by Controller Daryl Jones and Acting Budget Director Mike Gormany to manage the city’s budget on behalf of the residents, property owners, and taxpayers of New Haven,” Mayor Harp said. “The city navigates challenging financial circumstances year after year: this award underscores the responsible manner in which this finance team does so.”
