(Chicago) - The Canadian Award for Financial Reporting has been awarded to County of Newell, Alberta by Government
Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) for its annual financial report. The Canadian Award
for Financial Reporting Program was established to encourage municipal governments throughout Canada to publish high-
quality financial reports and to provide peer recognition and technical guidance for officials preparing these reports. Its
attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management.
The annual financial report has been judged by impartial Canadian Review Committee members to meet the high standards
of the program, including demonstrating a constructive “spirit of full disclosure” designed to clearly communicate the
municipality’s financial story and to motivate potential users and user groups to read the report.
Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) advances excellence in government finance by providing best practices,
professional development, resources, and practical research for more than 21,000 members and the communities they
serve.
