    Whoever said �nice guys finish last� clearly never met Cleveland
    Metroparks Treasurer, David Kuntz.  In his nomination for
    Crain's 2012 CFO of the Year Award, Kuntz is described as the
    �quintessential �nice guy' who shouldn't finish last,� which not
    only embodies Kuntz, but the work he produces.



    David Kuntz recently won a Crain's 2012 CFO of the Year Award
    (Medium Non-Profit/Government Category). An independent panel of
    judges reviewed the nominees, taking into account the following:
    candidate background, including unique qualities and
    accomplishments; leadership in such areas as strategic planning and
    vision, business challenges, risk management and succession
    planning; financial management, including monetary growth, market
    share gains, profitability, stability, strategic transaction and
    commitment to accounting standards; and external contributions
    (philanthropic, community, financial industry and board of
    directors service). 



    As the top fiscal officer of Cleveland Metroparks, Kuntz has
    achieved perfect state audits five years in a row. This track
    record had not been achieved in the Park District's 95-year
    history.  Cleveland Metroparks was also the only governmental
    agency in Ohio and only park district in the United States to
    receive the National Purchasing Institutes 2012 Achievement of
    Excellence in Procurement Award.



    While managing all of the Park District's financial affairs,
    including long and short-term budgets, cash receipts, auditing,
    financial reporting, purchasing, disbursements, fixed assets,
    information systems, and payroll, Kuntz still found time to lead
    and develop a number of other efforts.  Kuntz began the
    development of an internal audit function, enhanced revenue
    procedures for a variety of business types, implemented financial
    procedures mandated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board,
    developed a procurement card program, and instituted an online
    accounting manual.



    As a public government organization, Cleveland Metroparks
    upholds the integrity of not only the environment, but its
    financial systems as well. For years, David Kuntz, of Parma, has
    assured that Cleveland Metroparks maintains its reputation as a
    pillar of financial integrity.
