Jurupa Community Services District Achieves Recognition for Financial Excellence

Jurupa Valley, CA (July 16, 2024) – Jurupa Community Services District (JCSD) has once again been honored with the prestigious Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. It is the sixth consecutive time JCSD has received this award, highlighting a strong commitment to transparency and accuracy in governmental accounting and financial reporting.

The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its receipt represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management. An impartial panel has judged JCSD’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) to meet the program’s high standards. These include demonstrating a spirit of full disclosure to clearly communicate its financial story and encourage potential users and user groups to engage with the report.

“This award from the GFOA is a testament to our Finance Department’s dedication and our proactive approach to maintaining the highest standards of financial reporting and management,” said Chris Berch, JCSD’s General Manager. “We are committed to upholding these standards to ensure financial integrity and foster trust within our community.”

This year’s award adds to JCSD’s ongoing recognition for excellence in financial practices, underscoring its dedication to responsible fiscal management and accountability. JCSD was recently awarded its fifth consecutive Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from GFOA for the fiscal year 2023-2025 budget.

The GFOA is a professional association representing public finance officials throughout the United States and Canada since 1906. GFOA’s more than 21,000 members are federal, state/provincial, and local finance officials involved in planning, financing, and implementing thousands of governmental operations in each of their jurisdictions. Their stated mission is to advance excellence in public finance.
