St. Vrain Valley Schools has once again been honored with the Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Association of School Business Officials International (ASBO), marking the 21st consecutive year the district has received this prestigious award. The recognition is based on the district’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.
This award recognizes school districts that meet the highest standards for financial reporting and transparency. To qualify, applicants submit their ACFR for review by a team of financial professionals who evaluate the report’s content, accuracy, and overall quality.
“For over half a century, ASBO International’s Certificate of Excellence has represented the gold standard in promoting transparency and trust in school finance,” said ASBO International Executive Director Jim Rowan. “Districts that receive this award have demonstrated exceptional clarity and completeness in financial reporting.”
Tony Whiteley, Chief Financial Officer for St. Vrain Valley Schools, expressed his pride in the team’s continued success, “Receiving the Certificate of Excellence for 21 consecutive years reflects the dedication and professionalism of our accounting and reporting team in maintaining high standards for financial reporting.”
Participation in ASBO’s program also supports ongoing bond rating and disclosure processes, reinforcing the district’s commitment to fiscal responsibility.
