Celebrating Excellence in OPM Financial Reporting

OPM is honored to be recognized by the AGA (formerly Association of Government Accountants, a leading professional association in financial management), for producing an award-winning FY 2023 AFR that met or exceeded the rigorous scoring requirements of the AGA’s Certificate of Excellence in Accountability Reporting (CEAR) Program.

8 individuals from the Office of the Chief Financial Officer stood on the stage with two individuals held the AGA Certificate of Excellence in Accountability Reporting award.
Office of the Chief Financial Officer received the AGA Certificate of
Excellence in Accountability Reporting award.

The CEAR Program was established in collaboration with OMB and the Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Council to assist Federal agencies with performance and accountability reporting. Through the CEAR program, agencies improve accountability by streamlining reporting and enhancing reports' effectiveness to highlight the agency’s accomplishments and financial status throughout the fiscal year.

The CEAR Program publicly recognized OPM, along with other winning Federal agencies, on the high-quality AFR that effectively illustrates financial and program performance with both accomplishments and challenges, as well as outstanding efforts in preparing the AFR that increased accountability, transparency, innovation, collaboration, and results. OPM looks forward to continuing commitments on the financial excellence journey and offering greater value to our customers and the public.
