Addison CFO To Speak on Financial Transparency
At Government Finance Officers Association Conference

The Town of Addison’s chief financial officer, Eric Cannon, CPA, CGFO, has been invited to be one of the speakers for a financial transparency seminar at the Government Finance Officers Association conference on May 30 in Philadelphia.

The half-day seminar will feature “leading practitioners who have developed innovative, methods of taking an often complex subject matter to a wide audience”. The seminar participants will learn the creative use of online tools and strategic communications plans in addition to developing the formal budget document. Cannon, who holds both his Certified Public Accountant designation as well the Certified Government Finance Officer designation, will share his experiences in Addison and Town processes for financial transparency.

Addison has earned GFOA awards for both budget and financial reporting for 27 and 28 years, respectively. For three of the last four years, the Town has been awarded the highest designation possible from the Texas Comptroller for financial transparency efforts.
