Chicago--The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA)
is pleased to announce that City of Winter Springs, Florida has received the GFOA's
Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its budget.
The award represents a significant achievement by the entity. It reflects the commitment of the
governing body and staff to meeting the highest principles of governmental budgeting. In order to
receive the budget award, the entity had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for effective
budget presentation. These guidelines are designed to assess how well an entity's budget serves as:
a policy document
a financial plan
an operations guide
a communications device
Budget documents must be rated "proficient" in all four categories, and the fourteen mandatory
criteria within those categories, to receive the award.
When a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award is granted to an entity, a Certificate of Recognition
for Budget Presentation is also presented to the individual or department designated as being
Finance and
primarily responsible for its having achieved the award. This has been presented to
Administrative Services Department
.
For budgets including fiscal period 2011, 1,328 entities received the Award. Award recipients have
pioneered efforts to improve the quality of budgeting and provide an excellent example for other
governments throughout North America.
The Government Finance Officers Association is a nonprofit professional association serving over
17,500 government finance professionals throughout North America. The GFOA's Distinguished
Budget Presentation Awards Program is the only national awards program in governmental
budgeting.
