Auburn School District Wins Association of School Business Officials
International's Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting Program

Auburn School District won the Association of School Business Officials International’s (ASBO) Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting Program (COE) for excellence in fiscal reporting for the 2005-06 school year. The award, the highest recognition for school district financial operations offered by ASBO, is only conferred to school systems that have met or exceeded the standards of the program. This is Auburn School District’s twentieth year in a row receiving this award.

The district’s high-quality Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) validates the credibility of the school system’s operations, measures the integrity and technical competence of the business staff, assists in strengthening the presentations for bond issuance statements and provides professional recognition.

The Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting Program was designed by ASBO International to enable school business officials to achieve a high standard of financial reporting.
