Avondale Receives Distinguished Budget Presentation
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) of the United States and Canada (GFOA) this month presented the city of Avondale with the GFOA's Distinguished
Budget Presentation Award for its 2010 fiscal year budget. The city's Finance & Budget department was among this year's award recipients recognized for their
efforts to improve quality budgeting and provide an excellent example for other governments throughout North America.
The award represents a significant achievement by the city, reflecting the commitment of the council and staff to meeting the highest principles of government
budgeting. An entity has to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentation to garner such an award. These guidelines are designed to
assess how well the city's budget serves as a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide and a communications device. Budget documents must be
proficient in all four categories, and the fourteen mandatory criteria within those categories, to receive the award.
The Government Finance Officers Association is a non-profit professional association serving over 17,400 government finance professionals throughout North
America. The GFOA's Distinguished Budget Presentation Award Program is the only national awards program in governmental budgeting. Avondale was just one winner of
the many Arizona municipalities presented with this award.
