The Town of Concord is a recipient of the Government Finance Officers Association’s (GFOA) Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the comprehensive financial report for the fiscal year ending Jun 30, 2022.  This represents the seventh time the Town of Concord has been recognized for this achievement by the GFOA.

“This award is a credit to the hard work of the finance team and reflects Concord’s emphasis on high standards and commitment to transparency,” said Chief Financial Officer Anthony M. Ansaldi, Jr. “I am very proud to be part of an organization dedicated to this level of integrity and accountability for the stewardship of public funds.” 

The Certificate of Achievement, which was established in 1945, is the highest form of recognition in governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government organization. It encourages state and local governments to exceed the baseline financial reporting standards and prepare comprehensive reports that encourage full disclosure.

“This is a significant accomplishment that highlights our dedication to providing clear, easily understandable financial information to our residents,” said Town Manager Kerry Lafleur, “and continues to validate the efforts of our staff, who strive to ensure transparency in our financial reporting practices.”
