Ouachita Parish School Board recognized for exceptional accounting practices
For the 37th consecutive year, the Ouachita Parish School Board has received two prestigious awards for exceptional accounting practices — the ASBO Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting and the GFOA Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting.
Both awards were earned for the district’s exemplary Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the year ending June 30, 2024, a report that is meticulously created and formatted by our Business Department employees led by Chief Financial Officer Regina Mekus.
The Association of School Business Officials International Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting recognizes school districts that uphold the highest standards of financial reporting and transparency.
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting recognizing the district’s “spirit of full disclosure” to clearly communicate its financial story and motivate potential users and user groups to read the report.
Both awards represent the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting, and their attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management.
