About This Audit
A compliance audit was conducted on the Friendship Fire Company Number One of Geigertown Relief Association for the period from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2024. The audit aimed to assess the association’s corrective actions on previous findings and compliance with state laws regarding state aid and funds expenditure. The audit revealed that the association failed to rectify two previous findings related to maintaining equipment records and documenting meeting minutes. Additionally, it did not fully comply with laws concerning state aid receipts and fund expenditures due to unauthorized spending and poorly defined discretionary benefits. Consequently, the relief association risks having its state aid distribution withheld. Despite these shortcomings, the audit report was shared with management and included their responses. The association is urged to act on the recommendations provided. Effective management and careful planning can ensure proper compliance in the future. This is an automated summary.
