Airport Awarded Certificate of Excellence
CHO has been awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) for its comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR). The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management.
The CAFR has been judged by an impartial panel to meet the high standards of the program including demonstrating a constructive “spirit of full disclosure” to clearly communicate its financial story and motivate potential users and user groups to read the CAFR.
Jeff Brill, Director of Finance & Administration for CHO, is the individual primarily responsible for preparing the award-winning CAFR. Jeff manages the Authority’s accounting operation with meticulous attention to detail, challenging each employee to maintain the utmost integrity with respect to airport operations. He is one of 31 Airport Authority employees, the best group of co-workers one could hope for.
CHO is one of less than 20 of the 350 commercial service airports across the United States that prepares and submits a CAFR in lieu of a standard audit.
CHO is owned and operated by the Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport Authority; an independent political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia. CHO is maintained and operated exclusively through airport fees and charges.
