11/22/2023 - Jefferson City, MO
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 75 municipalities (50
cities and 25 villages) and 49 taxing districts were required to file by
September 30 because their fiscal year ended on March 31. Of those entities, 91
filed financial reports timely.
These reports also include
information on 70 municipalities (59 cities and 11 villages) and 39 taxing
districts that submitted late financial reports or other related documents
during the month of September 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.
