For 10th Year in a Row, Crow Wing Co. Receives Financial Reporting Awards
For the 10th consecutive year, Crow Wing County has been awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting and the Award for Outstanding Achievement in Popular Financial Reporting.
Both awards were for finance reports for the 2022 financial year. These two honors from the Government Finance Officers Association are among the highest forms of recognition in governmental and financial reporting.
The county spends months preparing the financial statements to ensure accuracy and transparency. The county feels that these awards represent the commitment to hard work that the taxpayers of Crow Wing County deserve.
“Well, it goes to show that the award we get represents all the work that we’re doing,” said Korie Wiggins, Crow Wing County Senior Business and Financial Analyst, “and it’s showing the residents the financial activity through the years so they can see all the revenues, all the expenses. Everything right there is accurate and they’re able to see the ins and outs.”
Crow Wing County is one of only 16 counties in Minnesota to receive the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting, and it’s among only five counties to receive the Award for Outstanding Achievement in Popular Financial Reporting.
