present the 2019 Popular Annual Financial
Report (PAFR), which offers an easy-
to-read summary of the recently completed
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR)
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019.
Our PAFR was first pub-
lished several years ago
to increase awareness in
the community about our
financial operations. The
Town wants to guarantee
that residents have access
to high-quality, easily un-
derstandable financial in-
formation so that you can
be well informed and have
the utmost confidence in the way we are running
your town.
which is produced in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and is audited
by an independent certified public accounting
firm. Although the financial data presented in
this report are consistent with generally accepted
accounting principles, the PAFR is not expected
to provide all of the detail and disclosure required
of the CAFR.
That more detailed financial report—the CAFR­—
is available at Town Hall (900 7th Ave.) and on the
Finance Department’s main page on the Town’s
website at garnernc.gov/departments/finance.
For more information about the Town’s financial
reports, please contact the Finance Department
