Melanson is well-versed in preparing Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports for our governmental clients. These reports are submitted by municipalities for review by the National Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA). If accepted, the report represents the highest form of recognition in governmental financial reporting. Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports include combining schedules, ten-year trend data, and key demographic data on communities and may be viewed favorably by Bond rating agencies.

As members of the GFOA review team, we have significant insight into the requirements and potential pitfalls of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report preparation and review process. Our team consistently works to ensure that our clients are positioned to receive the highest GFOA award.
