Beaver Volunteer Firemen’s Relief Association – Beaver County – Audit Period January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024

The compliance audit of the Beaver Volunteer Firemen’s Relief Association, covering January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2024, aimed to determine adherence to state regulations concerning the allocation and expenditure of state aid. Conducted by the Auditor General of Pennsylvania, the audit found that the association generally complied with applicable laws and guidelines, except in documenting certain expenditures. Specifically, there were $3,270 worth of undocumented payments primarily related to training vendors. Due to the lack of verification from financial institutions, the fair value of investments, reported at $126,433, could not be independently confirmed. Despite these issues, cooperation from the relief association was noted, and findings were discussed with its management. The audit underscores the relief association’s need for improved financial documentation to uphold accountability and transparency in handling funds. This is an automated summary.
