Missouri State Auditor Nicole Galloway has announced her office has started work on an audit of the city of Amoret, located in Bates county in western Missouri. The city has a population of less than 200, and the audit was requested by citizens through the petition process.
"When citizens are engaged the process works to improve government operations," Auditor Galloway said. "I look forward to conducting this independent review and I encourage those with information to contact my Whistleblower Hotline."
City audits may be initiated through a petition process or by request of the Governor. The Amoret city audit was initiated through the petition process, which required 26 signatures. This is the first state audit for the city of Amoret.
Individuals with information related to the investigation are encouraged to contact the State Auditor's Whistleblower Hotline by calling 800-347-8597, by emailing moaudit@auditor.mo.gov, or by using the online submission form at auditor.mo.gov/hotline. Callers may choose to remain anonymous.
