On the money

Township reporting honored

The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) of the United States and Canada has awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to Northville Township. This is the ninth consecutive year the township finance office has been honored with the distinction.

The township financial report was judged by an impartial panel to meet the high standards of the program, which includes demonstrating a constructive “spirit of full disclosure” to clearly communicate the financial story and motivate potential users and user groups to read the report.

The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management, according to the GFOA website.

Township officials said the award validates the efforts to lead “our future confidently with sound financial operational planning.”
