Sussex County wins award for excellence in financial reporting

August 26, 2019

The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada, based in Chicago, has awarded Sussex County its Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the 17th time. The award is among the highest forms of recognition for governmental accounting and financial reporting.

The award is an acknowledgment of Sussex County’s comprehensive annual financial report. The report includes the annual audit, showing assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses. It also contains information about county demographics and the local economy. That information helps those reviewing the report – such as investors – to better gauge the county’s financial condition.

“Sussex County prides itself on its fiscal management and our staff, particularly Deputy Finance Director Kathy Roth, do a tremendous job each and every day in seeing that we live by the highest accounting standards,” said Sussex County Finance Director Gina Jennings.
