The County of Oxford released its first annual report publication at County Council this evening, highlighting the County’s achievements, activities and continued strong financial performance in 2011.

One of the key accomplishments noted in the County of Oxford 2011 Annual Report is the introduction of a long-term financial sustainability plan that more closely aligns the County’s fiscal practices with those endorsed by the Public Sector Accounting Board. The County’s financial practices and planning activities resulted in an upgraded credit rating for the County last year, up to an AA-/Positive rating from the AA-/Stable it held for the previous three years.

Highlights of the 2011 Annual Report include:

• information and an infographic about County programs and services;
• an outline of how the County allocates tax dollars collected through levies on property taxes;
• a timeline of achievements by the County, supported by area municipalities; and
• the full consolidated financial statements for the 2011 operating year.
