Missouri State Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick recently issued
monthly reports detailing the compliance of municipalities and other political
subdivisions with financial reporting laws.
One report
includes cities, towns, and villages while the other lists political
subdivisions such as water, fire protection, and other taxing districts. These
entities are required to file annual financial reports with the State Auditor's
Office within six months of the end of their fiscal year.
A total of 328
municipalities and 401 taxing districts were required to file by December 31 because
their fiscal year ended on June 30. Of those entities, 555 filed financial
reports timely.
These reports
also include information on 14 municipalities and 13 taxing districts that
submitted late financial reports or other related documents during the month of
December to the State Auditor's Office.
Reports received are searchable
online. The complete report of municipalities is here and the full report of other
political subdivisions is here.
