City of Tuscaloosa Finance Department Wins Distinguished Budget Presentation Award
June 30, 2020
The City of Tuscaloosa’s Finance Department has been awarded the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from the Government Finance Officers Association for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2019.
This award is the highest form of recognition in governmental budgeting, reflecting the commitment of the governing body and staff to meeting the highest principles of governmental budgeting.
To receive the award, the City of Tuscaloosa had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentation to assess how well the budget serves as: a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide and a communications device.
"I could not be prouder of the Accounting & Finance Team," Chief Financial Officer Susan Snowden says. "This is a tremendous accomplishment for the City of Tuscaloosa that would not have been possible without the support of the Mayor and City Council and contributions by all City Departments."
