Immediate Release
December 8, 2009
Batavia, Ohio. When it comes to making your tax dollars count, the Clermont County Auditor’s Office is among the best in the state. The Ohio Auditor’s office has presented Clermont County with the “Making Your Tax Dollars Count” award for the fiscal year 2008 Clermont County audit; fewer than five percent of all Ohio government agencies are eligible for this award. “It is an honor to recognize Clermont County for their commitment to strong financial accountability,” said Ohio Auditor of State Mary Taylor. “Congratulations on your hard work and for being trustworthy stewards of taxpayer dollars.”
To be considered for the award, a government agency must complete and submit a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), there must be no findings or issues present in the audit report, and there must be no other financial concerns involving the entity.
“I am honored that our office has been selected for this prestigious award,” said Clermont County Auditor Linda Fraley. “I want to thank my staff for all their hard work and commitment to ensure taxpayer dollars are properly spent.”
