In 2023, finance professionals from the Collier County Clerk\u2019s Office received two awards for excellence in financial reporting. In the spring of 2023, the Finance and Accounting Division received recognition with the Certificate of Achievement for Popular Financial Reporting for the FY22 Popular Annual Financial Report. The popular financial report strives to provide constituents and interested parties with a more readable and understandable presentation of the same information presented in the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. Later in the year, they were also recognized for the 36th consecutive year with the prestigious Government Finance Officers Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On February 20, 2024, the Collier County Clerk and Comptroller\u2019s staff received notice that it\u2019s Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) for the year ended September 30, 2022, had received the GFOA award for PAFR reporting. The requirements for the award program are based on an evaluation of the information presented, reader appeal, understandability, distribution as well as creativity and usefulness. The Clerk and Comptroller\u2019s staff expects to submit its PAFR for the year ended September 30, 2023, to the award program in March of 2024.\u202f\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The awards and recognition that we received are proof of our finance professionals\u2019 dedication to their work and commitment to providing accessible and well-constructed financial reports to our community. Our team will continue to uphold the standards for transparent financial reporting and government services.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
