This is the 39th consecutive year that Suffolk has earned such a prestigious award.

According to the GFOA, “The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management. The report has been judged by an impartial panel to meet the high standards of the program, which includes demonstrating a constructive ‘spirit of full disclosure’ to clearly communicate its financial story and motivate potential users and user groups to read the report.”

The Honorable John M. Kennedy, Jr. stated, “The recognition of the outstanding work performed by the Suffolk County Comptroller’s Office is well deserved. I am fortunate to have such a highly skilled and dedicated staff!”

Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston.
