SAISD Awarded for Excellence in Financial Reporting

The Association of School Business Officials (ASBO) International has awarded San Angelo Independent School District its Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting award for having met or exceeded the program’s high standards for financial reporting and accountability.

As the only award program specifically designed for school district financial reporting, the COE represents a significant achievement and reflects a high level of commitment to fiscal integrity. To receive the award, the district must satisfy specific guidelines for effective, high-quality financial reporting recognized by school business officials. The district was recognized for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ending 2014.

Sponsored by VALIC, the Certificate of Excellence (COE) award confirms the school business office’s commitment to financial accountability and transparency.  Recognition through the COE program can help strengthen a district’s presentation for bond issuance statements and promotes a high level of financial reporting.

Assistant Superintendent, Dr. Jeff Bright congratulated Denise Huffman for her outstanding work and commitment to excellence. “Denise is rock solid when it comes to keeping our school finances in order. This is the district’s 10^th consecutive year to receive the award and is a true reflec-tion of the district’s commitment to fiscal integrity and our community should be very proud of her efforts.”

ASBO International, founded in 1910, is a professional organization of 5,000 members that provides programs and services to promote the highest standards of school business management practices, professional growth, and the effective use of education resources.
