The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) has awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of La Mirada for its annual comprehensive financial report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. The 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 its financial story and motivate potential users and user groups to read the report. This is the 34th consecutive year the City has received this honor.
The GFOA states, “the Certificate of Achievement 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.”
“We are honored to once again receive this award,” says La Mirada Finance Manager Melissa Pascual. “This award recognizes La Mirada’s commitment to transparency, responsible management of public funds, and sound governance.” To review the City’s annual comprehensive financial report and budget documents, visit cityoflamirada.org
