Audits in Progress

The State Auditor’s Office works to ensure the proper use of public funds and to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Missouri government by performing audits of state agencies, boards and commissions, the circuit court system, the counties in Missouri that do not have a county auditor, and other political subdivisions upon petition by the voters. The State Auditor may also audit Department of Revenue contract license offices, school districts, and certain special taxing districts.

Annually, the office performs financial audits of the state's financial statements and the Office of the State Treasurer, and compliance with federal requirements applicable to major federal grant programs for which the state receives funding. Third-class counties receive a financial audit every four years.
