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 29 because their fiscal year ended on August 31. Of
those entities, 16 filed financial reports timely.
These reports
also include information on 28 municipalities (20 cities and 8 villages) and 48 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.
