Failure of a city to timely file a statement or report under section 471.697 or 471.698 shall, in addition to any other penalties provided by law, authorize the state auditor to send full-time personnel to the city or to contract with private persons, firms, or corporations pursuant to section 6.581 , in order to complete and file the financial statement or report.

The state auditor's annual report on cities shall include a listing of all cities failing to file a statement or report.
