The Finance division activities include:
- Accounting

The Division also coordinates preparation of the annual budget on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. Budget status and expenditure reports are prepared and presented to the departments and the Village Board on a quarterly basis. In addition, an annual audit is performed by external auditors retained by the Village Board. The resulting financial statements and Audit Opinion are compiled by the Finance Director into a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR).
