The City of Beachwood has been recognized with an “Auditor of State Award of Distinction” by Keith Faber, Ohio’s Auditor of State, for a clean audit report. He says these awards honor public entities that have “put in hard work to keep their finances in order.”
Larry Heiser, Beachwood’s Finance Director, credited the work done by those in his department with ensuring that the city’s finances remain accurate and up to date.
“We are pleased that our hard work is reflected with this recognition and that the residents of Beachwood can rest assured the city’s finances are being handled in a highly responsible manner,” states Heiser.
