East Mead Volunteer Fire Department Relief Association – Crawford County – Audit Period January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025

The compliance audit of the East Mead Volunteer Fire Department Relief Association for January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2025, found the association generally complied with relevant laws and procedures concerning state aid receipt and fund expenditure. However, the audit identified three key areas of noncompliance: unauthorized expenditures, failure to update bylaws, and inadequate meeting minutes, some of which were repeat issues from a prior audit. Despite these shortcomings, the association did take steps to rectify unauthorized expenditures, making some reimbursements during the audit period. The report emphasizes the need for the association to fully implement corrective actions to address these findings. The audit was not required to follow Government Auditing Standards but was thorough in its approach and documentation. This is an automated summary.
