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 57 taxing districts were required to file by April
30 because their fiscal year ended on October 31. Of those entities, 62 filed financial
reports timely.
These reports
also include information on 29 municipalities (24 cities and 5 villages) and 18 taxing districts that submitted late financial
reports or other related documents during the month of April 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.
