The Mojave Water Agency was recently awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association for its comprehensive annual financial report. The financial distinction was granted to the local state water agency on the heels of a “perfect audit” result for the 2017-18 fiscal year — the second consecutive year the Agency has attained such marks during the annual review of its financial records. “The GFOA award is a testament to the diligent and meticulous work our staff does on a daily basis, especially when dealing with tax-payer money,” MWA Board President Carl Coleman said. “Earning a perfect audit two years in a row is not an easy feat so that’s something of which to be extremely proud.” The Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting.
