Dear Mr. Warden:
We are pleased to notify you that your comprehensive annual
financial report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended December 31 , 2000
qualifies for a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in
Financial Reporting. The Certificate of Achievement is the
highest form of recognition in governmental accounting and
financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant
accomplishment by a government and its management . Congratu-
lations for qualifying for this recognition.
Each entity submitting a report to the Certificate of Achievement
review process is provided with a "Summary of Grading Results"
form and a confidential list of comments and suggestions for pos-
sible improvements in its financial reporting techniques . Your
list has been enclosed. You are strongly encouraged to implement
the recommended improvements into the next report and submit it
to the program. Accompanying future submissions should be your
detailed response to each comment appearing on the list . These
responses will be provided to those Special Review Committee mem-
bers participating in the review.
Comment number 511 on your list of comments and suggestions
indicates that your CAFR had one or more serious reporting
deficiencies which almost certainly will preclude the awarding
of a future Certificate of Achievement if the deficiencies are
not corrected in your next report .
Your Certificate of Achievement plaque will be shipped to you
under separate cover in about eight weeks . A holder of a current
Certificate of Achievement may include a reproduction of the award
in its immediately subsequent CAFR. A camera ready copy of your
certificate will be forwarded to you for this purpose under
separate cover in about eight weeks . If you reproduce your
certificate in your next report, please refer to the enclosed
instructions .
