Missouri State Auditor Nicole Galloway today issued the State Auditor's monthly report detailing local government compliance with financial reporting laws. Cities, towns and villages in Missouri are required to file annual financial reports with the State Auditor's Office within six months of the end of their fiscal year.
Of the 11 local governments that were required to submit financial reports to the State Auditor's Office in February, six submitted their financial reports on time and five did not.
Auditor Galloway has called on delinquent government bodies to file late or missing reports, and has directed her staff to follow up to compel compliance. To date, Auditor Galloway has sent notices of noncompliance to 217 local governments who failed to file required reports in 2016 and 2017.
The six local governments that submitted financial reports on time were the cities of Golden City (Barton Co.), Avondale (Clay Co.), Arnold (Jefferson Co.), Miner (Scott Co.), Forsyth (Taney Co.), and the town of Augusta (St. Charles Co.)
The five local governments that did not submit financial reports on time include the city of Memphis (Scotland Co.) and the villages of Merwin (Bates Co.), Miramiguoa Park (Franklin Co.), Haywood City (Scott Co.) and Pasadena Park (St. Louis Co.)
