Auditor Fitzpatrick releases monthly reports on municipalities and special district financial information

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, 10 filed financial reports timely. One municipality and 1 taxing district failed to file financial reports on time.

These reports also include information on 7 municipalities (6 cities and 1 town) and 15 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.
