Chapman Township Volunteer Firemen’s Relief Association – Clinton County – Audit Period January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024

The compliance audit of the Chapman Township Volunteer Firemen’s Relief Association covered the period from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2024. The audit assessed the association’s adherence to state laws, contracts, bylaws, and administrative procedures related to receiving state aid and spending relief association funds. Overall, the association complied except for two significant findings: inadequate signatory authority for disbursements and outdated bylaws. The audit revealed that checks were often signed by only one officer instead of the required two, potentially increasing risks of errors or misappropriations. Additionally, the association’s bylaws had not been updated to align with the VFRA Act. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
