The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada has announced that Union County has received the GFOA’s Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its FY2025 budget.
In order to receive this award, Union County had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentation. These guidelines are designed to assess how well an entity’s budget serves as a policy document, financial plan, operations guide, and communications device. Budget documents must be rated “proficient” in all four categories, and the fourteen mandatory criteria within those categories, to receive the award. This is the twelfth consecutive year the Union County Budget Management department has received this award.
