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 66 municipalities (64 cities
and 2 villages) and 102 taxing districts were required to file by March 31 because
their fiscal year ended on September 30. Of those entities, 132 filed financial
reports timely. A total of 12 municipalities and 24 taxing districts failed to
file financial reports on time.
These reports also include information
on 12 municipalities (9 cities,
1 town, and 2 villages) and 16 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.
