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 3 municipalities (3 cities)
and 9 taxing districts were required to file by May 31 because their fiscal
year ended on November 30. Of those entities, 9 filed financial reports timely.
A total of 1 municipality and 2 taxing districts failed to file financial
reports on time.
These reports also include information
on 8 municipalities (8 cities) and 17 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.
