Budget Description Wins Award For Clarity

A new financial document prepared by the State Controller’s Office to provide a common-sense description of the state’s budget has received a national award.

“The Idaho Citizen’s Report is designed to make Idaho’s government more accountable by helping citizens better understand where the money comes from to run state government and how that money is spent,” Controller J.D. Williams said.

The award program by the Government Finance Officers Association was established to encourage governments to supplement traditional financial reports by making the information easier for taxpayers to understand.
