AGA offers a Certificate
of Excellence in Citizen-Centric Reporting
for
entities that prepare and distribute high-quality
Citizen-Centric Reports. To be eligible for the certificate,
governments must incorporate into their report the program’s
high standards of content, visual appeal, readability,
distribution and timeliness in reporting.
A Certificate

New Opportunity to Connect Citizens and Government
The Association of Government Accountants (AGA) has launched a
new project, the Citizen-Centric Government Reporting
Initiative. This initiative encourages governments to produce
and publish an annual 'state of the government' report that is
no more than four pages long. The reports, designed to be
visually appealing, provide understandable information to
citizens about the financial condition and performance of the
government. AGA believes that the report will make governments
more accountable to their citizens and will help Americans
become more educated citizens, who are better able to
participate in government activities. The initiative is being
piloted in localities across the country, and AGA is working
with public interest groups interested in civic engagement, good
government, transparency and accountability - along with their
own local chapters -- to promote this project among local
government officials.
