SoMi awarded for good financial stewardship
National organization recognizes South Miami
When it comes to safeguarding your tax dollars, very few do it better than South Miami.

The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) has just awarded SoMi with its Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting.

"The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting," said GFOA. "It represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management."

South Miami was singled out for demonstrating a constructive "spirit of full disclosure" by clearly communicating with residents.
