Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) Award
The Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Finance Reporting has been awarded to the
City of Springfield by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and

Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and
financial reporting and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government
and its management. The CAFR has been judged by an impartial panel to meet the high
standards of the program including demonstrating a constructive “spirit of full disclosure” to
clearly communicate its financial story and motivate potential users and user groups to read the
CAFR.
