Vista Irrigation District has been presented with the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) for its annual comprehensive financial report (ACFR) for fiscal year ending June 30, 2022.  This certificate is the only national award for public sector financial reporting.

            This marks the sixteenth year the district has received recognition for excellence in financial reporting and transparency.  The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government agency and its management team. 

“Vista Irrigation District’s Board of Directors and staff are committed to transparency in financial reporting and ensuring customers are informed about the district’s financial health,” said Jo MacKenzie, Vista Irrigation District Board President.

            The district’s ACFR was reviewed by an impartial review committee, comprised of individuals with expertise in public sector financial reporting.  The district’s ACFR has been judged to meet the program’s high standards including demonstrating the “spirit of transparency and full disclosure” to clearly communicate the district’s financial story and motivate customers and user groups to read the ACFR.
