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 23 municipalities (18 cities,
1 town, and 4 villages) and 110 taxing districts were required to file by October
31 because their fiscal year ended on April 30. Of those entities, 115 filed financial
reports timely. A total of 7 municipalities and 11 taxing districts failed to
file financial reports on time.
These reports also include information
on 23 municipalities (20
cities and 3 villages) and 17 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.
