The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) has awarded the Houston Municipal Employees Pension System (HMEPS) a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for its 2013 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR).
This is the twentieth consecutive year that HMEPS has been honored with a Certificate of Achievement by the GFOA. The GFOA established the CAFR recognition program in 1945 to encourage and assist state and local governments in reaching beyond the minimum requirements of generally accepted accounting principles in preparing CAFR reports.
“HMEPS is very proud to be awarded this recognition for the twentieth consecutive year,” said HMEPS Executive Director Rhonda Smith. “This is the highest form of recognition that the GFOA awards in governmental accounting and financial reporting. It is a significant accomplishment for HMEPS, and it reflects our deep commitment to accurate and transparent financial reporting.”
The GFOA is a non-profit professional association serving approximately 17,500 government financial professionals with offices in Chicago and Washington, D.C. For more information, visit www.gfoa.org.
