(KANSAS CITY, Kan.) — The Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in
Financial Reporting has been once again awarded to the Kansas City Board of
Public Utilities (BPU) by the Government Finance Officers Association of the
United States and Canada (GFOA) for its annual comprehensive financial report
(ACFR).
The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of
governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents
a significant accomplishment by the utility and its management.
Judged by an impartial panel of experts, the utility’s CAFR demonstrated
a “spirit of full disclosure” to clearly communicate its financial story and met
the highest standards of this program. This is the 42nd year in a row BPU has
received this distinguished recognition.
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) advances excellence in
government finance by providing best practices, professional development, resources,
and practical research for more than 21,000 members and the communities they
