Cherokee Nation honored for financial reporting
The Cherokee Nation has earned the highest honor given to governments for financial reporting and accounting.
For an 11th straight year, the tribe's finance department was awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for its comprehensive annual financial report.
To earn the award, an audit of the tribe's 2011 government operating budget and all its business and nonprofit components were judged by an impartial panel to ensure it met the highest standards, including transparency.
The award is given by the Government Finance Officers Association, which serves about 17,500 government professionals. It started the award program in 1945 to encourage state and local governments to go beyond the minimum accepted accounting requirements.
With more than 300,000 citizens, more than 8,000 employees and a variety of tribal enterprises ranging from aerospace and defense contracts to entertainment venues, Cherokee Nation is one of the largest employers in northeastern Oklahoma and the largest tribal nation in the United States.
