Rockville Named a GFOA Triple Crown Winner

The City of Rockville has been named a 2026 Triple Crown winner by the Government Finance Officers Association. 

GFOA gives the Triple Crown designation to governments that receive all three of its major awards for the same fiscal year. Those awards are the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting, the Popular Annual Financial Reporting Award and the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award. 

Each of the three award programs has its own review process and its own set of professional standards. Together, they look at how clearly a government explains its finances to the people it serves, from detailed annual financial statements to summary reports written for a general audience, to the annual budget that sets the city’s spending priorities. 

The Triple Crown recognition reflects the city’s ongoing work to make its financial information accurate, transparent and understandable. Financial documents serve residents most effectively when they can be read and understood by people who do not work in public finance, and each of the three GFOA programs reward that kind of clarity.
