PANOLA COLLEGE BUSINESS OFFICE RECEIVES 14^TH CONSECUTIVE
AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE

The Certificate for Excellence in Financial Reporting has been awarded to Panola College by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) for its comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR). 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.

An Award of Financial Reporting Achievement has been awarded to the individual(s), department or agency designated by the government as primarily responsible for preparing the award-winning CAFR. This has been presented to Mr. Steve Williams, CPA, Vice President of Fiscal Services and the Panola College Business Office staff.

“Fourteens years of continued recognition speaks volumes about the professionalism of the Business Office staff,” said Williams. “This was a team effort and I am grateful to our staff for their adherence to high standards of excellence for Panola College.”

The CAFR has been judged by an impartial panel to meet the high standards of the program including demonstrating a constructive “spirit of full disclosure” to clearly communicate its financial story and motivate potential users and user groups to read the CAFR.

The GFOA is a nonprofit professional association serving approximately 17,000 government finance professionals with offices in Chicago, IL and Washington, D.C.
