The award is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management.

"This recognition, especially for the fifth consecutive year, reinforces the Park District's overall level of fiscal responsibility and a continued trend of sound and positive financial performance, especially when you consider today's economic climate," said Executive Director Greg Bott.

The Park District's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010, was judged by an impartial panel to meet the high standards of the GFOA program. This included demonstrating a "spirit of full disclosure" to clearly communicate its financial story and motivate potential users and user groups to read the report.

The GFOA is a nonprofit professional association serving approximately 17,500 government finance professionals.
