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 65
municipalities (63
cities and 2 villages) and 98 taxing districts were required to file by March
31 because their fiscal year ended on September 30. Of those entities, 137 filed
financial reports timely.
These reports
also include information on 33 municipalities (23 cities and 10 villages) and 17 taxing
districts that submitted late financial reports or other related documents
during the month of March 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.
