The Orange County Treasurer’s Office is pleased to have received its accreditation from the Treasurers’ Association of Virginia (TAV) last month. The Accreditation program is a voluntary professional certificate program overseen by the TAV. Seventy-four treasurer’s offices received accreditation this year. While not required, accreditation acknowledges that the office meets statewide best practices for performance in treasury management.

To achieve accreditation, offices must successfully pass an outside audit with no findings of material weakness. The rigorous process also requires proof of continuing education such as attendance of an ethics course by the Treasurer (or a principal officer), and educational requirements for all staff. Accredited offices are required to have written policies in place addressing areas such as personnel, customer service, and delinquent collections. “All of these offices represent the high standards of excellence and integrity that our Association is dedicated to maintaining,” states Tanya R. Wilcox, President of the Treasurers’ Association. “We are honored to recognize the commitment and hard work of the 74 offices that have attained accreditation this year, as they exemplify the quality and professionalism that we strive for in our field.” The Treasurers’ Association has 180 active members across Virginia’s cities, counties, and towns. Their goal is to utilize education and networking to raise professionalism and fiscal leadership in Virginia’s Treasurers and their staffs. For more information visit www.vatreas.org.
