Frederick County Finance Dept. recognized for excellence

The Government Finance Officers Association recognized the Frederick County Finance Department as a Triple Crown Winner.

The designation goes to governments that received the GFOA’s Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting, Popular Annual Financial Reporting Award, and Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for a fiscal year.

During the 2020 fiscal year, only 317 governments across the country received the honor.

Each award in the triple crown acknowledges the government’s ability to produce reports which communicate financial aspects with transparency while meeting applicable standards.

Director of Finance Cheryl Shiffler has led the department for over 30 years and made sure to thank her staff’s hard work in preparing financial publications.
