Lone Pine Volunteer Firemen’s Relief Association – Washington County – Audit Period January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2024

A compliance audit of the Lone Pine Volunteer Firemen’s Relief Association in Washington County, Pennsylvania, covering January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2024, was conducted to assess corrective actions from previous audits and adherence to state laws regarding fund management. The audit, executed under Pennsylvania law, revealed the association addressed one out of two earlier findings but failed to resolve the maintenance of a valid Pennsylvania Sales Tax Exemption Number, a concern highlighted in the previous audit. Despite this, the association complied with relevant laws concerning state aid receipts and fund expenditures, except for the noted sales tax exemption issue. The audit emphasizes the need for proper internal controls to ensure legal compliance and asset safeguarding by relief association officers. The audit report was shared with association management, including their responses, and the audit team expressed gratitude for the cooperation during the audit. This is an automated summary.
