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 14 municipalities (14 cities)
and 62 taxing districts were required to file by April 30 because their fiscal
year ended on October 31. Of those entities, 60 filed financial reports timely.
A total of 3 municipalities and 13 taxing districts failed to file financial
reports on time.
These reports also include information
on 23 municipalities (22
cities, and 1 village) and 20 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.
