Higley Unified School District’s Finance Department has been recognized for excellence in financial reporting by two associations.
The Association of School Business Officials International and the Government Finance Officers Association recognized Higley USD for its comprehensive financial report for the fiscal year ending in June 2023.
GFOA's Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting is its highest form of recognition in governmental accounting and financial reporting. ASBO International’s Certificate of Excellence recognizes districts that have met the program’s high standards for financial reporting and transparency, demonstrating their commitment to financial transparency.
“For over half a century, ASBO International’s Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting has been the gold standard in promoting and recognizing excellence in financial reporting,” ASBO International Executive Director Jim Rowan said in a release. “Communicating the financial and economic state of a district is so important when engaging with the school community and building their trust. Districts that receive the COE Award have demonstrated their ability to do that at the highest level.”
HUSD Chief Financial Officer Tyler Moore recognizes the importance of financial transparency for the district and surrounding communities.
“We are proud and humbled to accept national and international recognition for our financial reporting,” he said in a release. “This is a testament to the hard work and dedication of all our employees, especially those in the Finance Department, and the impact of our strategic plan to prioritize resources to ensure student opportunity and success.”
