Prestigious ‘Triple Crown' award won by Wichita Falls second straight year
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — For two straight years, the City of Wichita Falls has received a few awards for meeting national standards through budgeting and financial reporting.
The Government Finance Officers Association is called the 'Triple Crown.' In the 2023 fiscal year, Wichita Falls won three awards:
Distinguished Budget Presentation Award
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting
Popular Annual Financial Reporting Award
Wichita Falls CFO Stephen Calvert said the awards stem from the teams' commitment to transparency.

'I am grateful for our finance and leadership teams and the work they put in to earn these awards,' Calvert said. 'For our citizens, these awards are evidence that we are committed to transparency with our financial reporting.'
To win these awards, all three reports were judged on their clear communication, financial planning and performance. All awards are judged on their own merits and deemed to meet the criteria by a panel of judges for each category.
