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 1 municipality (1 city)
and 10 taxing districts were required to file by July 31 because their fiscal
year ended on January 31. Of those entities, 9 filed financial reports timely.
These reports also include
information on 32 municipalities (29 cities and 3 villages) and 66 taxing
districts that submitted late financial reports or other related documents
during the month of July 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.
