The compliance audit for the Shickshinny Volunteer Fire Company Fireman’s Relief Association, conducted for January 1, 2019, to January 31, 2026, assessed the association’s adherence to state laws and procedures related to state aid and funds expenditure. The audit confirmed that while the relief association addressed two of the three prior findings, it lacked sufficient surety bond coverage and maintained inadequate signatory authority for fund disbursements. During the audit period, the relief association did not receive state aid allocations from Shickshinny Borough or Union Township, ultimately dissolving on January 31, 2026. Assets were liquidated, and remaining funds transferred to Huntington Valley’s relief association. The audit outlines areas for improvement and acknowledges the cooperation of Shickshinny officials, aiming to enhance compliance practices in the future. This is an automated summary.
