Cleburne continues 18-year tradition of receiving financial transparency award
The City of Cleburne received an award that recognizes the city’s financial transparency efforts.

The Government Finance Officers Association honored the city with its Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting. The award recognizes the city’s 2018 Comprehensive Annual Finance Report.

The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in government accounting and financial reporting.

The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report provides detailed information about the city’s financial condition and activities. The report includes both financial statements and the accompanying notes as well as statistical data regarding the economy and historical trends. The financial statements and accompanying notes are audited by an independent professional external auditing firm who, after review, will issue an audit opinion of the data presented.

Aside from one year in the 1990s, the city has received the award consecutively since 1986.
