AUDITOR OF STATE AWARD WITH DISTINCTION FOR 2023 AUDIT
October 7, 2024
Michelle Reeder, Finance Director City of Sandusky, along with Yvonne Anderson, CFO/Treasurer of Sandusky City Schools and Rick Jeffrey, Erie County Auditor, are pleased to announce that all three officials and accounting staffs were each individually awarded the Auditor of State Award with Distinction for Fiscal Year 2023 by the Auditor of State.
The award lists each official’s name and entity. It states: “This award is presented for excellence in financial reporting related to the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) and compliance with applicable laws for the fiscal year ended 2023. Your exemplary reporting serves as the standard for clean, accountable government, representing the highest level of service to Ohioans.”
Eligible entities that receive this Award with Distinction for a “clean” audit report is very rare. For this to occur as it has for these officials is an amazing accomplishment as less than 5% of government entities receive this award. The Finance Director of the City of Sandusky, Treasurer of Sandusky City Schools and Auditor of Erie County, per Ohio Revised Code are the responsible parties for the yearly Financial Audits and Reports.
Auditor Jeffrey remarked “Each of us earning these awards in our neighboring government and school system is an honor. We collaborate well together and are all partners in financial excellence for our taxpayers. The entire City, School system and County should be very proud.”
Copies of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports are available at the Erie County Auditor’s website under the Financial tab and clicking Financial tab and clicking Financial Reports. Completed Audit reports are available at www.auditor.state.oh.us under the Audits area. Click here to see pictures.
