Local governments are required to annually produce and distribute a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) to conform with generally accepted accounting standards established by the Government Accounting Standards Board. The CAFR is a thorough and detailed presentation of the City’s financial condition, with financial activity for a fiscal year and its end of the year financial position.
Sections of the Report
The CAFR contains three sections:
- Introductory section: Includes transmittal letter
- Financial section: Includes:
- Combining financial statements
- Fund financial statements
- Government-wide financial statements
- Independent auditor’s report
- Management’s discussion and analysis
- Notes to financial statements
- Required supplementary information
- Schedules
- Statistical section: Includes additional financial, economic, and demographic information
The data reported in the CAFR encompasses all of the City’s programs and departments. A firm of licensed, certified public accountants audits the CAFR’s financial statements.
