The Government Finance Officers Association <strong>of</strong> the United<br />
States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Canadian Award for<br />
Financial Reporting to the <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong> for its annual<br />
financial report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.<br />
The Canadian Award for Financial Reporting program was<br />
established to encourage municipal governments throughout<br />
Canada to publish high quality financial reports and to provide<br />
peer recognition and technical guidance for <strong>of</strong>ficials preparing<br />
these reports.<br />
In order to be awarded a Canadian Award for Financial<br />
Reporting, a government unit must publish an easily readable<br />
and efficiently organized annual financial report, whose<br />
contents conform to program standards. Such reports should<br />
go beyond the minimum requirements <strong>of</strong> generally accepted<br />
accounting , principles and demonstrate an effort to clearly<br />
communicate the municipal government's financial picture,<br />
enhance an understanding <strong>of</strong> financial reporting by municipal<br />
governments, and address user needs.<br />
A Canadian Award for Financial Reporting is valid for a period<br />
<strong>of</strong> one year only. We believe our current report continues to<br />
conform to the Canadian Award for Financial Reporting<br />
program requirements, and as such we are submitting it to the<br />
GFOA for consideration for the 2008 award.<br />
