Edina, Minn., Jan. 13, 2025 – The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) has awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial
Reporting to the City of Edina’s Finance Department for its annual comprehensive financial report for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2023.
The department met the high standards of the program, which includes demonstrating a constructive “spirit of full disclosure” to clearly communicate its financial story and motivate
potential users to read the report. This award is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting.
In order to win the award, the report must include all funds and component units; an introductory section and a letter of transmittal; a financial section, which includes management’s
discussion and analysis; a report of an independent auditor; basic financial statements, including the notes to the financial statements; and a statistical section.
The City of Edina has been given this award every year since 2012.
“The Finance Department is again honored to be awarded certificates of achievement for Excellence in Reporting. This is possible because of the team’s collaboration and hard work,” said
Assistant Finance Director Nelly Chick-Brewer.
