The City of Danville VA Treasurer’s office received its accreditation from the Treasurers’ Association of Virginia (TAV) on June 24, 2025.
The Office Accreditation program is a voluntary professional certificate program overseen by the Treasurers’ Association of Virginia. Seventy-four treasurer’s 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 statewide 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 Tanya R. Wilcox, President of the Treasurers’ Association. “We are honored to recognize the commitment and hard work of the 74 offices that have attained accreditation this year, as they exemplify the quality and professionalism that we strive for in our field.”
