For the third straight year Peachtree Corners has received the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from the Government Finance Officers Association, a national association focused on government finance policy and management. Since its incorporation as Gwinnett’s 16th city in 2012, the city has applied, and received, the award three straight years in a row.
“The city is dedicated to fiscal responsibility at every level and this award proves our commitment,” said Brian Johnson, City Manager. “The award also illustrates the city’s commitment to transparency and communications in the budgeting process.”
To receive the budget award, the city had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentation. These guidelines are designed to assess how well the city’s budget serves as a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide, and a communications device.
“This is an important award that validates Peachtree Corners’ commitment to responsible and successful budgeting,” said Brandon Branham, Finance Director. “We strive for excellence in all financial matters and appreciate this national recognition for our ongoing efforts.”
The Government Finance Officers Association is a non-profit organization serving more than 19,000 government finance professionals throughout North America.
