Reston, VA – February 17, 2014 – The Association of School Business Officials International (ASBO) is proud to congratulate the 2013 Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting (COE) recipients, based on their submissions for the fiscal year ended 2012. More than 500 school districts across the United States earned the distinction this year.

The COE, sponsored by VALIC, supports and recognizes school districts for high-quality financial reporting to the community through exceptional Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports. ASBO International has awarded the COE for 43 years, and is proud to recognize districts that meet the award program’s high standards. Several outstanding districts have participated in the program for more than 25 years.

As recipients of the COE, these school districts have verified that credibility, confidence, and transparency are essential to demonstrate sound fiscal management and professional growth. For each year of participation, the districts receive an award plaque and certificate as well as recognition in national and local media. They also benefit from enhanced credibility with their school boards and communities.
