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 11
municipalities (6
cities, 1 town, and 4 villages) and 19 taxing districts were required to file by February
28 because their fiscal year ended on August 31. Of those entities, 20 filed financial
reports timely.
These reports
also include information on 63 municipalities (57 cities, 1 town, and 5 villages) and 22 taxing
districts that submitted late financial reports or other related documents
during the month of February 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.
