‘Mrs. Santa’/Finance director Myers, Hall lead Town to ‘32nd’

Town of Farragut has received the Certificate of Achievement in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association for the 32nd time for its annual comprehensive financial report for Fiscal Year 2023.

The report was judged by an impartial panel to meet the high standards of the program, which includes demonstrating a constructive “spirit of full disclosure” to clearly communicate its financial story and motivate potential users and user groups to read the report.

“Our finance department does a great job of making sure we maintain high standards of accounting and transparency. Recognition like this demonstrates that our staff takes financial responsibility seriously. Not many municipalities achieve this each year,” Town administrator David Smoak said.

“I’d like to recognize Finance director Allison Myers and Accounting clerk Pam Hall for their excellent work in maintaining the Town’s financial records and making sure the Town complies with state and local financial practices,” he added about the Myers (pictured) as Mrs. Santa with husband, Noah Myers, and their daughter, Kate Myers, after Countdown to Light the Park became Light the Park in Founders Park at Campbell Station Monday night, Nov. 25.

The Town’s financial reports are available at townoffarragut.org/financials.

Farragut is one of 29 municipalities out of 346 in the state to receive this certificate of achievement. GFOA is the premier association for public-sector finance professionals in the United States and Canada.
