About This Audit

The compliance audit of the Hillsgrove Volunteer Firemen’s Relief Association, covering January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2025, was conducted following Pennsylvania’s state regulations. The objectives were to assess corrective actions taken from prior findings and determine compliance with relevant laws, contracts, bylaws, and administrative procedures. The audit revealed that the relief association successfully addressed the previous finding of untimely deposit of state aid. However, it was found that the bylaws were not updated to align with the current VFRA Act, potentially leading to non-compliance. The audit recommended updating these bylaws as a corrective measure. The relief association acknowledged the finding and plans to make the necessary updates. The audit provides a reasonable basis for its conclusions, pending verification in the next audit. The association comprises separate legal entities, including the Hillsgrove Volunteer Fire Company, and received state aid from Hillsgrove Township during the period audited. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
