NYS Comptroller’s Fiscal Stress Report For Counties Based on 2015
The summary graph projects a fiscal stress score based on a three-year trend analysis. This score is not based on data submitted by the municipality. The predicted score is most reliable for municipalities which have followed a level trend but is less reliable for municipalities with scores that do not follow a steady trend. Financial information provided on this page is pulled from reports submitted by the municipality. OSC performs a formal review of the information on an annual basis. However, OSC is unable to verify the accuracy of all the data elements upon which an entity’s prior year fiscal stress score is based. Note: Fiscal data may change after fiscal stress scores are released for a given year. As a result, the data presented in this workbook may vary from previously released data.
