Kishwaukee College was awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) for Kish's comprehensive financial report for the Fiscal Year 2023.
The achievement is the highest form of recognition in governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by Kishwaukee College and its management, according to GFOA.
Jill Fletcher, Kishwaukee College's Chief Financial Officer, and the Kishwaukee College Business Office were recognized for compiling the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). Each year, Kish submits its ACFR to GFOA for review and evaluation by an impartial panel to meet the high standards of the program, which includes demonstrating a constructive "spirit of full disclosure" to communicate the College's financial story and motivate potential users and user groups to read the report.
“It is an honor to be recognized by the GFOA for our team's hard work in financial reporting. The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report allows our community to see a complete picture of Kishwaukee College’s economic condition and the public finances entrusted to us,” Fletcher said.
Kish has earned the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting every year since first submitting an ACFR in 2012.
“Receiving the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting is an exceptional accomplishment for Kishwaukee College and our Business Office,” said Bob Johnson, Kishwaukee College Board Chair. “We are very proud of the hard work and dedication that goes into making the College a fiscally responsible and transparent entity for our community.”
