The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) has awarded OCC with a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for its Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the seventh consecutive year.
The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in governmental
accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment
by a governmental entity and its management. OCC is one of only two community colleges
in Michigan to earn this honor.
“The GFOA award validates our commitment to meticulous financial reporting and our drive to provide transparent, accessible information about the resources entrusted to us by the community,” said Peter Provenzano, OCC Chancellor.
OCC Vice Chancellor for Administrative Services, Bobbie Remias, said the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report highlights the College’s efforts to continually exercise fiscal prudence and maintain a healthy financial condition while maintaining the College’s commitment to academic excellence.
“OCC takes great pride in providing the community with a set of transparent, accessible financial documents which keep our community stakeholders informed and closer to our vision,” added Sharon Converse, OCC controller.
