Auditor of State Mary Taylor’s office today
presented Montgomery 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.

“I am pleased to recognize Montgomery County for properly accounting for the tax dollars they spend,” Taylor said. “The community should be proud of their commitment to making sure that each tax dollar is spent appropriately.”

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.
