Accounting and Financial Reporting

Accounting

The Accounting and Financial Reporting Division ensures that financial transactions are properly recorded in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).

The division is responsible for:

  • Providing departments and the public with accurate financial information to assure accountability and transparency.
  • Processing weekly vendor payments.
  • Monitoring and performing reconciliations of Federal, State, and Local grants.
  • Monitoring capital and non-capital project expenditures along with maintaining fixed assets records.
  • Reconciling bank and trust accounts.
  • The preparation of the State of Florida Annual Financial Report, the Annual Single Audit Report, the Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) and the Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports (ACFR)

Accounts Payable

Accounts Payable provides the best service possible to our neighbors by ensuring that all invoices and reimbursement requests are processed in a timely and efficient manner. To ensure payments are processed for the weekly check run, departments must have approved voucher payables, contractor request for payments, and/or vendor invoices to Accounts Payable by 12:00pm on Tuesday. The Accounts Payable team processes checks once a week on Thursday. If checks must be printed outside the normal processing schedule, the department requiring the additional check must have approval from the Director of Finance or the Deputy Director of Finance.
