Mission
The mission of the Finance Department is to preserve and maintain the integrity of all
financial systems, records and functions of the District in accordance with applicable laws,
ordinances, policies, and procedures.
Accomplishments
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA)
awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to South
Suburban Park and Recreation District for its comprehensive annual financial report for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. This was the ninth consecutive year that the District
has achieved this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a
government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual
financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and
applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our
2010 comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the Certificate of
Achievement program’s requirements and have submitted it to the GFOA to determine its
eligibility for another certificate.
The District was also awarded the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the Budget
beginning January 1, 2011 from the Government Finance Officers Association of the United
States and Canada (GFOA). This was the second consecutive year that the District has
achieved this prestigious award. The District’s 2012 Budget will also be submitted for
review from the GFOA’s Distinguished Budget Presentation Award program.
