About This Audit

The compliance audit for The Citizens Fire Company #1 of Highspire, Pennsylvania Volunteer Firemans Relief Association, spanning January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2024, assessed compliance with state laws, contracts, bylaws, and procedures, focusing on corrective actions from prior audits and fund management. While the association addressed four of the five prior audit findings, it failed to correct the lack of documentation in meeting minutes. The audit confirmed general compliance with state requirements regarding state aid and fund expenditure, except for noted issues, such as inadequate loan agreements and noncompliance with documenting meeting minutes. Audit discussions with management incorporated their responses and expressed gratitude for their cooperation. The association needs to implement previous recommendations, especially in documenting meeting minutes, to ensure complete compliance moving forward. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
