The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada 
(GFOA) presented a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award to the City of 
Anderson, South Carolina for its annual budget for the fiscal year beginning July 
1, 2016. In order to receive this award, a governmental unit must publish a budget 
document that meets program criteria as a policy document, as an operations 
guide, as a financial plan, and as a communications device.  The City has received 
this award for eleven years. 
The award is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current budget 
continues to conform to program requirements, and we are submitting it to GFOA 
to determine its eligibility for another award.
