About This Audit

A compliance audit was conducted on the Gordonville Fireman’s Relief Association in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, covering January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2024. The audit aimed to verify if the association addressed previous audit findings and complied with state laws related to the receipt and use of state aid. It revealed that the association failed to address prior recommendations, particularly in obtaining a Pennsylvania sales tax exemption number, conducting association meetings, and having sufficient surety bond coverage. Due to these issues, the association risks having their state aid distribution withheld. Despite these challenges and considerations of dissolution or merging due to financial constraints, no formal decision has been made. The audit findings stress the need for the association to implement the suggested recommendations to ensure compliance and proper financial management. The audit has been shared with the association’s management, acknowledging their cooperation throughout the process. This is an automated summary.
