About This Audit
The compliance audit of the Petersburg Volunteer Firemen’s Relief Association for the period from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2024, was conducted to assess compliance with state laws and procedures concerning state aid and funds expenditure. The audit found significant non-compliance issues, notably the association’s failure to maintain an active Pennsylvania sales tax exemption number. This exemption number is crucial as it allows for tax-free purchases for the association’s charitable purposes. The association’s exemption number expired on May 31, 2007, leading them to improperly utilize another entity’s number, a violation that could result in penalties, including fines or imprisonment. As a result of this non-compliance, the association may face the potential withholding of future state aid. This is an automated summary.
