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 404
municipalities (263 cities, 11 towns, and 130 villages) and 1,527 taxing districts
were required to file by June 30 because their fiscal year ended on December 31.
Of those entities, 1,392 filed financial reports timely.
These reports
also include information on 10 municipalities (9 cities and 1 village) and 4 taxing districts that
submitted late financial reports or other related documents during the month of
June 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.
