Monday, December 14, 2009

Ross County -

Auditor of State Mary Taylor’s office presented Ross County officials with the "Making Your Tax Dollars Count" award for their fiscal year 2008 audit. Fewer than five percent of all Ohio government agencies are eligible for this award.

"This award recognizes those that place a high priority on financial accountability," said Taylor. "Ross County officials have demonstrated their commitment to properly account for taxpayer dollars and I am pleased to be able to recognize that commitment."

Certain criteria must be met to receive the "Making Your Tax Dollars Count" award. Standards include:

  • The entity must complete and submit a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR).
  • There must be no findings or issues present in the audit report.
  • There must be no other financial concerns involving the entity.
