The City of Danville Treasurer’s office received its accreditation from the Treasurers’ Association of Virginia (TAV) on June 24, 2024.
The Office Accreditation program is a voluntary professional certificate program overseen by the Treasurers’ Association of Virginia. Seventy treasurer’s offices received accreditation this year.
While it is not required for any treasurer’s office to be accredited, receiving accreditation acknowledges that the office meets the statewide best practices for performance in treasury management.
As part of the accreditation process, offices must successfully pass an outside audit with no findings of material weakness.
The rigorous accreditation process also requires proof of continuing education such as completion 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.
“These offices exemplify our Association’s standards of excellence and integrity,” says Treasurers’ Association President Jody Acosta. “We are proud of the commitment and dedication shown by the 70 offices which received accreditation this year.”
