Anderson County government recently announced that its Accounts and Budget Office has received the Popular Annual Financial Report Award, or PAFR Award.

The PAFR Report is a voluntary report that counties can choose to compile and publish in order to condense the financial position of the county. The goal of popular reports is to present budget information in a way that is easy to understand, a press release said.

“We scored an 86.7 percent out of 100 percent by the panel of 3 judges,” Anderson County Deputy Budget Director Connie Aytes said. “One judge gave us a 96.8 percent grade. I am honored to say this now makes the 11th consecutive year we’ve won the award.” [Read more…]
