City of North Ridgeville Receives Ohio Auditor of State Award with Distinction

Below is an excerpt from a letter from Dave Yost, Auditor of State, that accompanied a plaque that was presented to Chris Costin, City Auditor, at a recent City Council meeting:

Based upon your recently completed financial audit, it gives me great pleasure to inform you that the City of North Ridgeville has received the Auditor of State Award with Distinction.  Clean and accurate record-keeping are the foundation for good government, and the taxpayers can take pride in your commitment to accountability.

The Auditor of State Award with Distinction is given to those entities that file an annual CAFR and timely financial reports in accordance with GAAP, as well as receive a "clean" audit report.  The "clean" audit report means that your financial audit did not contain findings for recovery, material citations, material weaknesses, significant deficiencies, Single Audit findings or any questioned costs.
