The Missouri State Auditor’s office conducted a performance audit of the City of Arnold and two Transportation Development Districts (TDD). The audit examined how the districts were formed, how their tax revenues were managed, and whether the city and TDD boards complied with state law.
No fraud, misuse of funds, or illegal activity by the city or the TDD was identified by the State Auditor.
However, the Audit presented five negative findings about the City of Arnold and the Arnold Retail Corridor Transportation Development District (ARC TDD). The following Audit FAQ and related materials are intended to help residents understand what happened, why, and discuss the five audit findings.
