CVUSD Earns Award for Outstanding Financial Reporting for the Fourth Consecutive Year

certificateThe Conejo Valley Unified School District is proud to share that it has received the Association of School Business Officials (ASBO) International’s Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting Award (COE).

This award represents a significant achievement and reflects the CVUSD’s commitment to transparency and high-quality financial reporting. 

The CVUSD earned the Certificate of Excellence for its Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the fiscal year ended 2023. This is the fourth consecutive year that the District has received this recognition.

“For over half a century, ASBO International’s Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting has been the gold standard in promoting and recognizing excellence in financial reporting,” according to ASBO International Executive Director Jim Rowan, CAE, SFO. “Communicating the financial and economic state of a district is so important when engaging with the school community and building their trust. Districts that receive the COE Award have demonstrated their ability to do that at the highest level.”

By participating in the COE program, school districts demonstrate their commitment to financial transparency. Applicants submit their ACFR for review by a team of financial professionals who provide feedback to improve future documents. If the report meets the requirements of the program, it may receive the Certificate of Excellence. A district’s participation in the COE program can facilitate bond rating and continuing bond disclosure processes.

Congratulations to the CVUSD’s Business Services Department for their excellent work to earn this well-deserved award!
