During fiscal year 2021, the governmental accounting community and standards board discontinued the use of the acronym associated with the term "Comprehensive Annual Financial Report" as a result of increasing professional awareness that the acronym sounded the same as a derogatory term used historically in other parts of the world.  The State’s financial statements subsequent to fiscal year 2020 will be referred to as the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report or “ACFR”.  Previous years' reports, while titled "Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports", will also be referenced as "ACFR" when an acronym is referenced.
