About This Audit
The Blandon Fire Company No. 1 Firemen’s Relief Fund underwent a Limited Procedures Engagement (LPE) for the period from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2024, conducted by the Auditor General of Pennsylvania. The purpose was to verify that expenditures were made legally and state aid funds were appropriately deposited. The engagement involved reviewing financial documentation, testing transactions worth $25,381, and verifying state aid deposits. However, independent confirmation of cash and investment balances wasn’t obtained directly from financial institutions, though provided statements indicated cash and investments totaled $241,188. Total expenditures over the period amounted to $177,755, categorized into benefit, fire, and administrative services. No unauthorized fund usage or improper deposits were found, except for the inability to fully verify balances. The report emphasizes maintaining comprehensive documentation for future audits. Overall, the findings revealed compliance except for the unverified balances, and the cooperation of officials was appreciated.
