Deschutes County’s finance team received recognition from the Government Finance Officers Association for fiscal year 2024, earning the Triple Crown designation for excellence in financial reporting, the popular annual financial report (PAFR) and the distinguished budget presentation award.

County staff presented certificates to members of the accounting and budget teams at the meeting.
