“We are proud and pleased to receive this report,” said MVTA Treasurer and Savage Councilmember Jane Victorey.  “It is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting,” she said.  “MVTA takes its fiduciary responsibilities very seriously and we have worked hard to earn this recognition, which is a significant accomplishment by a government and its management.”

An Award of Financial Reporting Achievement has also been awarded to MVTA Finance Officer, Lois Spear, for the role she played in preparing the award-winning CAFR.

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 to motivate potential reading of the CAFR.  GFOA is a nonprofit professional association serving approximately 17,500 government finance professionals.
