<br />(9) <br /> <br /> <br />AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS <br /> <br />The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a <br />Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Little Canada for its <br />Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. This was the <br />second year that the City applied for and received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a <br />Certificate of Achievement, the government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized <br />Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. This report must satisfy both accounting principles generally <br />accepted in the United State of America and applicable legal requirements. <br /> <br />A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current <br />Comprehensive Annual Financial Report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s <br />requirement and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate. <br /> <br />The preparation of this report would not have been possible without the dedicated services of the <br />Finance Director and finance staff. I would like to express my appreciation to all of those who assisted <br />and contributed to the preparation of this report. Recognition is also extended to the City Council for <br />their unfailing support for maintaining the highest standards of professionalism in the management of <br />City of Little Canada’s financial operations. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />City Administrator <br />
