Pelham receives Canadian Award for Financial Reporting for 2023 Annual Report

The Canadian Award for Financial Reporting Program was established to encourage municipal governments throughout Canada to publish high-quality financial reports and to provide peer recognition and technical guidance for officials preparing these reports. Its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management.

“Being recognized for the fifth year in a row speaks to the consistency and professionalism of the Pelham team,” said Treasurer and Director of Corporate Services Teresa Quinlin-Murphy. “Each year, the team strives to present the town’s financial story in a clear and meaningful way, reinforcing the commitment to accountability and fiscal stewardship in Pelham.”

Impartial Canadian Review Committee members have judged the annual financial report to meet the program's high standards, including demonstrating a constructive "spirit of full disclosure" designed to clearly communicate the municipality's financial story and motivate potential users and user groups to read the report.

Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) advances excellence in government finance by providing best practices, professional development, resources, and practical research for more than 21,000 members and the communities they serve.
