The City of Richardson has once again been recognized for excellence in financial management, earning its 14th consecutive Investment Policy Certificate of Distinction from the Government Treasurers’ Organization of Texas (GTOT). This latest certification continues a nearly three-decade streak of financial best practices, bringing the City’s total time certified to 28 years by mid-2027.
Richardson first received the award in June 1999, and each certificate is valid for a two-year period. The honor is awarded to public entities—such as cities, counties, school districts and utilities whose written investment policies meet or exceed standards set by the Texas Public Funds Investment Act and GTOT’s own rigorous review criteria.
With this 14th award, Richardson remains part of an elite group of public agencies across Texas who uphold the highest standards in public fund management.
