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 30 taxing districts were
required to file by January 31 because their fiscal year ended on July 31. Of
those entities, 25 filed financial reports timely. A total of 5 taxing districts
failed to file financial reports on time.
These reports also include information
on 27 municipalities (23
cities and 4 villages) and 13 taxing districts that submitted late financial
reports or other related documents 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.
