Financial Reports
As the chief financial officer, the Mayor is required to submit at the end of each fiscal year a complete financial report to the council. The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) is prepared by the Finance Department to meet this requirement.
The ACFR is prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as promulgated by various authoritative bodies through their publications, statements of position, and other pronouncements. These include the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB).
