The Annual Financial Report (AFR) is issued annually.  City management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement.

A AFR has three major sections: introductory, financial, and statistical.  The introductory section furnishes general information on the government’s structure, services, and environment.  The financial section contains all basic financial statements and required supplementary information, as well as information on all individual funds and discreetly presented component units not reported separately in the basic financial statements.  The statistical section provides trend data and nonfinancial data useful in interpreting the basic financial statements and is especially important for evaluating economic condition.
