The Greenville-Spartanburg Airport District (District) has received the highest form of recognition in governmental accounting and financial reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA).

GFOA awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the District for its Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021. 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.

“We are pleased to have our efforts recognized by such an esteemed body. GSP is committed to full disclosure and transparency,” said Dave Edwards, president and CEO.  “This is a significant accomplishment, recognizing those willing to share more than the minimum requirements in financial reporting.”
