Upper Moreland School District Receives National Financial Reporting Award

UPPER MORELAND, PA — The Upper Moreland School District is the recipient of a national award recognizing the institution for its financial reporting practices.

Officials announced in late March that the Montgomery County school district was given the Excellence in Financial Reporting Certificate of Achievement from the Government Financial Officers Association honoring the institution for its annual comprehensive financial report for the fiscal year that ended on June 30, 2020.

According to a news release from the district, Upper Moreland was found by an impartial panel to have met high standards in providing full financial disclosure, communicating the district's financial story, and "motivating community members to read and engage with the data and information presented."

"In Upper Moreland, we have worked hard to ensure we are as transparent as possible with our district community when it comes to our financial management and overall district operations," Interim Superintendent William Kiefer said in a statement. "This Certificate of Achievement is a tremendous honor and a reflection of our efforts over the past several years. I want to thank our staff for all their outstanding work in getting us to where we are today."

The Government Finance Officers Association represents public finance officials throughout both the United States and Canada, according to its website.
