Financial Statements

An annual comprehensive financial report is the gold standard of financial disclosure that complies with the accounting requirements established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). This annual financial report serves a number of purposes for the general public, investors and other interested groups. One of the most significant purposes of a comprehensive financial report is that it provides valuable insight into how City officials manage public finances. This report is similar to the annual reports for a business, as it lends insight into the overall financial health of our City operations and is subject to a full financial audit by an independent auditor.
