Your Award Winning Program

Your Ohio Deferred Compensation Program hasn’t won a Nobel Prize or Grammy award, but we are very proud of these recent accomplishments:
_
In November, the Program was notified that its 2006 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) received the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association. This award is an indication of the Program’s commitment to excellence, compliance, and trustworthiness.
_
In March, Auditor of State Mary Taylor presented the Program with the “Making Your Tax Dollars Count” award. To be eligible, the Program had to complete and submit a CAFR, have no findings or issues in the audit report, and have no other financial concerns. Fewer than five percent of all Ohio government agencies are eligible for this award.
_
In June, the Government Finance Officers Association presented the Program with its 2008 Award for Excellence in Government Finance for implementing an Internet application with the Ohio Business Gateway that allows employers to quickly and accurately send deferral data and funds to the Program in a secure, electronic environment. The Ohio Business Gateway is a collaborative initiative of state and local government agencies. The Program was able to use this existing structure to customize a lower-costing application for the employers to use.
