CCPS Department of Budget and Finance Honored for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the Second Consecutive Year

JONESBORO - The Budget and Finance Department of Clayton County Public Schools has won the Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting Program as sponsored by the Association of School Business Officials International (ASBO). To qualify for this honor, the district’s Budget and Finance Department had to provide a high quality Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year 2008.

This is the second year in a row that the Clayton County school district has earned this honor.

The Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting Program was designed by the ASBO International to enable school business officials to achieve a high standard of financial reporting. The award, the highest recognition for school district financial operations offered by ASBO, is only conferred to school systems that have met or exceeded the standards of the program.

"I commend each member of the Budget and Finance staff for their dedicated efforts in making this honor possible," said Ramona Thurman, Director of Budgets and Grants. "The work that goes into preparing a comprehensive annual financial report that qualifies for this recognition is incredible."
