12/06/2024 - 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 24
municipalities (19 cities, 1 town, and 4 villages) and 107 taxing districts
were required to file by October 31 because their fiscal year ended on April 30.
Of those entities, 112 filed financial reports timely. A total of 7
municipalities and 12 taxing districts failed to file financial reports on
time.
These reports
also include information on 20 municipalities (19 cities and 1 village) and 16 taxing districts that
submitted late financial reports or other related documents during the month of
October 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.
