The Chester County Controller's Office recently received an award from the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA). A Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting was presented to county controller Margaret Reif and her staff for the 2018 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). A copy of the CAFR can be found at http://www.chesco.org/controller.
The GFOA Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and finance reporting. Evaluation is made by an independent panel, according to Reif.
The award for 2018 CAFR marks the 38th consecutive year that Chester County has earned the GFOA accolade. According to Reif's office, the most recent data ranks the county as one of the top in Pennsylvania to receive the award and one of fewer than 60 counties - out of more than 3,000 nationwide - that has been recognized for 38 years or more.
