Auditor of State Recognizes City
Auditor of State Mary Taylor’s office presented city of Willoughby officials with the “Making Your Tax Dollars Count” award for their fiscal year 2005, 2006 and 2007 audits. Fewer than five percent of all Ohio government agencies are eligible for this award.
“I am proud to recognize city of Willoughby officials for their commitment to fiscal accountability. I commend them for receiving this honor and encourage them to continue making financial accountability a high priority,” said Taylor.
Certain criteria must be met to receive the “Making Your Tax Dollars Count” award. Standards include:
- The entity must complete and submit a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR).
- There must be no findings or issues present in the audit report.
- There must be no other financial concerns involving the entity.
City of Willoughby Mayor David E. Anderson, Director of Finance Raymond J. Rogowski, CGFM and Deputy Finance Director Diane C. Bosley, CPA accepted the award.
The Ohio Auditor of State’s office is one of the largest accounting offices in the nation. The office strives to ensure that all public funds are spent legally and appropriately and works aggressively to root out fraud, waste and abuse in public spending. Taylor encourages anyone suspecting fraud or misspending of public dollars to contact her office toll-free at 1-866-FRAUD-OH (1-866-372-8364).
