The Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting has been awarded to Wilson County Government by the Government Finance Officers Association.  Commissioners officially recognized Financial Services staff at the October 2, 2017 commissioners’ meeting.

According to the GFOA, “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.”

“Our Financial Services staff work hard each day to ensure quality services,” said Bobbie Jones, chair.  “This shows the results of their commitment to accountability to the citizens of Wilson County.”  Financial services staff were in attendance and were recognized by commissioners.

“Wilson County Government’s Financial Services staff understand the value of financial excellence and accountability.  Our team strives for the best practices and they are always working to take that to the next level,” said Denise Stinagle, County Manager.

Tiffany Reese, Finance Director, expressed appreciation for her team’s hard work.  “My staff are dedicated.  I am appreciative of their commitment to the citizens of Wilson County.  I am also appreciative of our county government departments.  They work with us so that we can achieve quality financial services.”

The GFOA is a nonprofit professional association serving approximately 17,500 government finance professionals.

83rd Civil Command comes to Wilson County Government

83rd Civil Command comes to Wilson County Government

Recently Gordon Deno, Emergency Management Director, coordinated with the 83rd Civil Command from Fort Bragg for a Continuity of Operations assessment for Wilson County Government.  The group worked to assess county government and provide feedback on a path forward with a Continuity of Operations Plan.  Gordon and Rodney Dancy, Emergency Management, will be coordinating these efforts in the near future.  A big thanks to Health, DSS, Finance and many others for a successful assessment.  Another way Wilson County Government works to improve the lives of our citizens.
