Galloway to audit city of Otterville

State Auditor Nicole Galloway has announced that her office is set to begin an audit of Otterville, located in Cooper County.

Under Missouri law, a city can request an audit if enough qualified voters of that entity want it to happen. The city of Otterville petition needed 61 signatures.

“Citizens of Otterville are promoting accountability in their local government by petitioning for this independent review,” said Galloway in a news release. “My office will review the financial practices and operations of city government and make recommendations to ensure efficiency and transparency.”
