MWRD awards demonstrate excellent financial reporting system

For yet another year, the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD) has proven its commitment to accurate and transparent accounting practices. The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) applauded the MWRD commissioners and staff with numerous awards for budgeting and financial reporting for the MWRD and its retirement portfolio.
The GFOA awarded the MWRD with the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the 2016 Budget and Certificates of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the MWRD, the MWRD Retirement Fund and to the MWRD Retiree Health Care Trust for the Fiscal Year 2015 Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (CAFR).
“I would like to thank the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada for this honor and thank our staff for their diligence in accurately and transparently reporting our finances,” said MWRD Chairman of Finance Frank Avila.
