SCHOOL DISTRICT RECEIVES AWARD FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Nash-Rocky Mount Board of Education recently received the Association of School Business Officials International’s (ASBO) Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting award for having met or exceeded the program’s high standards for financial reporting and accountability.
Dr. Anthony Jackson, Superintendent of Nash-Rocky Mount Public Schools, said he appreciates the work of district staff to ensure that reporting is clear and accurate.
“We made a commitment to be transparent and efficient stewards of the funds provided to us.” Jackson said. “Our staff has worked diligently to improve our financial reporting and should be commended for this accomplishment.”
The district was recognized for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ending 2012. Board members were presented with a plaque for the honor during the school board meeting held October 7.
This is the first time Nash-Rocky Mount Public Schools has participated in the Financial Reporting Award recognition. Sponsored by VALIC, the Certificate of Excellence (COE) award confirms the school business office’s commitment to financial accountability and transparency. Recognition through the COE program can help strengthen a district’s presentation for bond issuance statements and promotes a high level of financial reporting.
