Complete Audit Report

An audit was conducted by our office of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit, city of St. Peters, Missouri Municipal Division.

The city of St. Peters Municipal Division is within the Eleventh Judicial Circuit, which consists of St. Charles county. The Honorable Ted House serves as Presiding Judge.

 

The Municipal Court and Police Department collect approximately $452,000 annually in bond monies. Neither the Police Department nor Court Administrator marks the receipt slip or ledger as cash or check. As a result, the composition of receipt slips issued is not reconciled to the composition of deposits. In addition, the City Finance Department reconciles the bond bank account but is unable to perform a reconciliation of the composition of monies received to the deposit documentation.

 

The Municipal Court implemented or partially implemented our previous recommendations.

 

A petition audit of the City of St. Peters fulfilling our obligations under Section 29.230, RSMo, is still in process, and any additional findings and recommendations will be included in a subsequent report.
