The Austin Community College District has earned the highest form of recognition for governmental accounting and financial reporting for the ninth consecutive year.

The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded ACC the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the 2011 comprehensive annual financial report. The GFOA’s requirements include a spirit of full disclosure that clearly communicates the college’s fiscal status.

“This award is a reflection of ACC’s high standards in financial reporting,” says Neil Vickers, associate vice president of finance and budget. “The college is committed to transparency and accountability to our taxpayers, students, and employees.”
