RIPTA receives recognition for financial reporting

PROVIDENCE – The Rhode Island Public Transit Authority for the fifth year in a row has received a certificate of excellence in financial reporting.

The recognition was given by the Government Finance Officers Association, a professional association.

The certificate 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,” according to a letter to RIPTA.

The order is given to organizations that have demonstrated “spirit of full disclosure,” and commitment to clearly communicating a government or government agency’s financial story, according to a press release.
