CFO Designation Form and Resolution Template


Arizona Revised Statutes §41-1279.07(E) requires each county, city, town, and community college district to annually provide to the Arizona Auditor General by July 31 the name of the chief fiscal officer (CFO) its governing body (i.e., board of supervisors, town council, or governing board) designated to officially submit the current year’s Annual Expenditure Limitation Report (AELR). Cities and towns must use the resolution template below to document their annual CFO designation. We will not accept any resolution that does not adhere to our templates and will reject the CFO form. The governing body must approve, sign, and then submit the resolution using the electronic CFO designation form below.
