The City of Leduc recently received a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the 2024 Budget Binder, recognizing it meets the highest standards for planning, transparency, communication and policy. This is the eighth consecutive year the City has received this award, which demonstrates the City has achieved ‘proficient’ status across four categories and exemplifies nationally recognized guidelines and best practices for budgeting.
Administered by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA), the prestigious North American award evaluates how well the municipal budget plan serves as a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide, and a communications tool. The 2024 binder also received special recognition by the GFOA for its strategic focus – a first-time honour for the City – by achieving an ‘outstanding’ score by all three reviewers for the ‘Strategic Goals and Strategies’ section.
