Missouri owes more than it owns.
Missouri's Taxpayer Burden™ is -$700, and it received a "C" from TIA.
Missouri is a Sinkhole State without enough assets to cover its debt.
Elected officials have created a Taxpayer Burden™, which is each taxpayer's share of state bills after its available assets have been tapped.
TIA's Taxpayer Burden™ measurement incorporates both assets and liabilities, not just pension debt.
Missouri only has $21.6 billion of assets available to pay bills totaling $22.9 billion.
Because Missouri doesn't have enough money to pay its bills, it has a -$1.3 billion financial hole. To fill it, each Missouri taxpayer would have to send -$700 to the state.
Missouri's reported net position is overstated by $94.1 million, largely because the state delays recognizing losses incurred when the net pension liability increases.
The state's financial report was released 267 days after its fiscal year end, which is considered untimely according to the 180 day standard.

Did your state receive a clean audit opinion? 2022 Update

OCTOBER 22, 2023 | by Chrisitine Kuglin

Every year, for the past fourteen years, Truth in Accounting has released its Financial State of the States report which examines the financial status of the fifty states. This year our report was released on October 11, 2023. One of the data sets we reviewed is the auditors’ reports. Did the state receive an unmodified report for  their Annual Comprehensive Financial Report? Last year I wrote an article for Accounting Today explaining which states did not meet auditing standards for 2021. This is a follow-up to that article.
