SUBJECT:
WATER MANAGMENT DISTRICTS MONTHLY FINANCIAL STATEMENT
Chapter 2012-126, Laws of Florida, amended Section 373.536 (4)(e), Florida Statutes (F.S.), to
require each water management district to provide a monthly financial statement in the form and
manner prescribed by the Department of Financial Services (DFS) to the district’s governing
board and make such monthly financial statement available for public access on its website. The
monthly financial statement template prescribed by DFS for the water management districts is
available at http://www.myfloridacfo.com/aadir/localgov/.
Those water management districts that currently provide financial statements at a more detailed
level should make sure the detailed information continues to be available upon request. The
Chief Financial Officer’s Chart of Accounts Project, pursuant to Section 215.89, F. S., will likely
result in additional reporting requirements for local government entities. Water management
districts are encouraged to monitor the progress of this project for upcoming reporting
requirements. Information related to the Chart of Accounts Project can be found at
http://www.myfloridacfo.com/aadir/COA.
Please contact Local Government at (850) 413-5571 or localgov@myfloridacfo.com if you have
any questions.
