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. Per state regulation, 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 31 taxing
districts were required to file by January 31 because their fiscal year ended
on July 31. Of those entities, 24 filed financial reports timely.
These reports
also include information on 65 municipalities and 37 taxing districts that
submitted late financial reports or other related documents during the month of
January 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.
