Tina Ludwig, Northeast Regional Liaison for Auditor of State Keith Faber, presented the Auditor of State Award with Distinction to the City of Green’s finance department during the Sept. 23 council meeting.

“It is my honor to be here on behalf of Auditor Faber to present the Auditor of State Award with distinction to the City of Greene,” Ludwig said, explaining the award is given to entities that file timely GAAP‑based financial reports, receive a clean audit report, and contain no material findings.
