Starbrick Volunteer Fire Department Relief Association – Warren County – Audit Period January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024

A compliance audit was conducted on the Starbrick Volunteer Fire Department Relief Association for the period of January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2024. The audit aimed to evaluate the relief association’s adherence to applicable state laws and administrative procedures concerning the receipt and expenditure of state aid. The audit concluded that the association was generally compliant, except for a failure to disclose a related party transaction. A local bank, employing a relief association officer, managed all the association’s assets without proper disclosure or documentation in meeting minutes, generating a potential conflict of interest. The association management has agreed to document such transactions in the future and report them in meeting minutes. Further compliance will be checked in subsequent audits.
