It is important to the Oak Lawn Park District to be transparent while being good stewards of the communities’ tax dollars. For over 20 years, we have received a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association. This means, as quoted in the report: “Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.”
With this in mind, we invite you to review the financial documents below and welcome any questions you may have.
