BRAINERD — For the 10th consecutive year, Crow Wing County was awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting and the Award for Outstanding Achievement in Popular Financial Reporting.

The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental and financial reporting. The honor is given out by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada.

The Certificate for Excellence in Financial Reporting was awarded to Crow Wing County for its 2022 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report compiled in 2023.

The award represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management, the county noted in a news release.

“This is a testament to the type of work that is being done in our Finance Department,” said Finance Director Nancy Malecha. “This award recognizes our commitment in ensuring that our financial data and information is reported accurately, timely and provides transparency that the taxpayers of Crow Wing County deserve.”

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of “staff.” Often, the “staff” byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.

I’ve gone through a lot of changes over the years, but what has never changed is my commitment to community and to local journalism. I’ve got an entire team of dedicated people who work night and day to make sure I go out every morning, whether in print, as an e-edition, via an app or with additional information at www.brainerddispatch.com. News, weather, sports — videos, photos, podcasts and social media — all covering stories from central Minnesota about your neighbors, your lakes, your communities, your challenges and your opportunities. It’s all part of the effort to keep people connected and informed. And we couldn’t do it without support.
