(Fredericksburg, VA) July 27, 2026 – The City of Fredericksburg Treasurer’s Office renewed its accreditation, effective July 1, 2026, from the Treasurers’ Association of Virginia (TAV).
The accreditation is a voluntary professional certificate program that requires annual renewal and is overseen by the TAV. Seventy-seven treasurers’ offices received accreditation this year.
While it is not required for any treasurer’s office to be accredited, receiving accreditation acknowledges that the office meets the state’s best practices for performance in treasury management.
As part of the accreditation process, offices must successfully pass an outside audit with no findings of material weakness.
The rigorous accreditation process also requires proof of continuing education such as completion of an ethics course by the treasurer (or a principal officer) and educational requirements for all staff. Accredited offices are required to have written policies in place addressing areas such as personnel, customer service, and delinquent collections.
“All of these offices represent the high standards of excellence and integrity that our Association is dedicated to maintaining,” states Bonnie Dickson, President of the Treasurers’ Association of Virginia. “We are honored to recognize the commitment and hard work of the 77 offices that have attained accreditation this year, as they exemplify the quality and professionalism that we strive for in our field.”
