Douglas County Commissioners Tom Kress, Chris Boice, and Tim Freeman announced that Douglas County has received the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada.

A county release said according to GFOA, 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 a government and its management. The award recognizes Douglas County’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, and marks an extraordinary 38 consecutive years that Douglas County’s Management and Finance Department has earned this national recognition.

Commissioner Chris Boice said, “People should know that achieving this level of excellence isn’t easy.  It reflects our staff’s constant commitment to accuracy, attention to detail, and the highest professional standards.” Boice said, “Dan and his staff work diligently to ensure our financial information is accurate, transparent and meets the highest standards. We appreciate their continued commitment to excellence and congratulate the entire team on once again earning this distinguished national recognition.”

The Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting was presented to Dan Wilson, Douglas County Chief Financial Officer, and the County’s Management and Finance Department.

The ACFR was judged by an impartial panel to meet the high standards of the program, which includes demonstrating a constructive “spirit of full disclosure” to clearly communicate its financial story and motivate potential users and user groups to read the ACFR.
