Earlier this month, Martin County Clerk and Comptroller Carolyn Timmann announced the release of Martin County Tides, the County’s Popular Annual Financial Report for the Fiscal Year ending September 30, 2023. This report aims to provide a condensed version of some of the financial and demographic details in our award-winning Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, which provides an in-depth review of the County’s finances.
Recognizing the value of this report to Martin County residents, the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada awarded the Outstanding Achievement in Popular Annual Financial Reporting to the Martin County Clerk of Court and Comptroller for our Popular Annual Financial Report for the last two fiscal years. The Award for Outstanding Achievement in Popular Annual Financial Reporting is a prestigious national award recognizing conformance with the highest standards for preparing state and local government popular reports.
The Popular Annual Financial Report features an overview of our county, local economy, and government-wide financial statements. It also concisely reviews the government fund, general fund, capital assets, ongoing county projects, the county’s debt, and cash and investments. The PAFR was developed to be used as a tool to help the public understand how the county’s public funds are being managed and spent. Additionally, this report has been submitted to the Florida Government Finance Officers Association Award Program, which follows strict review and reporting rules.
“As Martin County’s Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, and Internal Auditor, it is my goal to ensure information about the County’s finances is accessible and transparent to our residents,” said Clerk Carolyn Timmann.
The Martin County Clerk encourages all residents to view this report to better understand the County’s finances. The PAFR is available electronically on our website, www.MartinClerk.com, under the Finance & Budget Tab: https://www.martinclerk.com/237/Annual-Financial-Reports .
