We are pleased to announce the Village of Wind Point received the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) for its 2016 budget document. The award reflects the Village’s commitment to meeting the highest principles of governmental budgeting and organizational transparency.
In order to receive the budget award, the Village had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentation. These guidelines are designed to assess how well an entity’s budget serves as: 1) a policy document, 2) a financial plan, 3) an operations guide and 4) a communications device. A total of 17 municipalities in Wisconsin received the award in 2015.
The GFOA is a nonprofit professional association serving 18,300 government finance professionals throughout North America. The GFOA’s Distinguished Budget Presentation Awards Program is the only national awards program in governmental budgeting.
