SKAGIT COUNTY - The Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting was recently awarded to Skagit County by the Government Finance Officers of the United States and Canada(GFOA), according to Norma Brummett, Skagit County Auditor.

"I am extremely proud of my staff. This a huge undertaking and it speaks to the professionalism of our people in the auditor's office," said Brummett.

Skagit County was recognized for its comprehensive annual financial report. Chief Accountant Daniel Weinberg received the Award of Financial Reporting Achievement as being the individual being primarily responsible for the report. "Danny Weinberg is a real asset to this office and represents the County's best interests at all times," said Brummett.

Since 1988, Skagit County has received the award several times. Weinberg was also recognized last year for his role in receiving the honor.

The panel of judges looks for high standards and looks for a constructive "spirit of full disclosure" to clearly communicate its financial story.
