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 407
municipalities (269 cities, 11 towns, and 127 villages) and 1,532 taxing districts
were required to file by June 30 because their fiscal year ended on December 31.
Of those entities, 1,464 filed financial reports timely. A total of 123
municipalities and 352 taxing districts failed to file financial reports on
time.
These reports
also include information on 4 municipalities (4 cities) and 3 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.
