About This Audit
The compliance audit of the Ohiopyle-Stewart Volunteer Firefighter’s Relief Association was conducted to evaluate actions taken regarding previous findings and ensure compliance with state laws and procedures related to state aid receipt and fund expenditure from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2024. The audit revealed that the association effectively addressed prior audit findings and largely complied with required legal and procedural standards. However, a notable issue was the untimely deposit of state aid received from Ohiopyle Borough in 2024, mistakenly placed in the fire company’s account and delayed until May 2025, impacting fund availability for operations or investments. As a result, the audit recommends implementing internal controls to guarantee timely deposits. The relief association acknowledged the finding and committed to implementing recommended changes, with compliance set for verification in the next audit. This is an automated summary.
