Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting

The Gold Standard in Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports
For more than 45 years, the Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting (COE) has honored school districts for their high quality Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (CAFRs).
A CAFR includes information that goes beyond the minimums established by the National Council on Governmental Accounting (NCGA). ASBO International’s resources can help you prepare a high-quality CAFR.
Transparency and quality financial information are critical in today’s education environment, so there’s never been a better time to prepare a CAFR and apply for the COE.
Applying for the COE…
- Shows your community that your district is credible and transparent.
- Improves your financial reporting through comments from school financial professionals.
- Is viewed by credit-rating agencies as a positive factor in decision making.
