The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management. Approximately 500 municipalities in the state of California submitted CAFRs, and about 300 received an award. Of all the school districts in the state of California, Grossmont is the only district to have received this distinction.
