From the Miami-Dade County Public Schools:

May 10, 2021

The Miami-Dade County School Board has been awarded the Association of School
Business Officials (ASBO) International’s Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting Award (COE) for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ending June 2020. This is especially noteworthy as this report was completed virtually and in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. The District’s participation in the COE program for the last 37 years is a testament to its commitment to financial transparency.

Applicants submit their annual report for review by a team of professional auditors, who provide feedback to improve future documents. If the report meets the requirements of the program, the document may receive the Certificate of Excellence. A district’s participation in the COE program can facilitate bond rating and continuing bond disclosure processes.

ASBO International recognizes each school district’s superior efforts in financial reporting to the community through outstanding reports. COE recipients are honored for their credibility, confidence and transparency in their fiscal management and professional growth.

Founded in 1910, ASBO is a nonprofit organization that represents approximately 30,000 school business professionals worldwide. ASBO International is committed to providing programs, services, and a global network that promote the highest standards in school business. Its members support student achievement through effective resource management in various areas ranging from finance and operations to food services and transportation. Learn more at asbointl.org.
