About This Audit

A compliance audit was conducted by the Department of the Auditor General on the Sinnamahoning Volunteer Fireman’s Relief Association for January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2024. The audit aimed to ensure compliance with Pennsylvania state laws, contracts, bylaws, and administrative procedures regarding state aid receipt and relief association fund expenditure. The audit found the association compliant, except for one issue: the bylaws were outdated, still referencing Act 84 of June 11, 1968, rather than the relevant VFRA Act. The association had previously been informed verbally but had taken no corrective action. The recommendation is to update the bylaws to align with the VFRA Act, which the management agreed to. Compliance will be verified in the next audit. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
