The compliance audit of the Cambridge Springs Volunteer Fire Department Relief Association for January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2024, aimed to verify adherence to applicable state laws concerning state aid receipt and fund expenditure. The audit was grounded in the Constitution of Pennsylvania, The Fiscal Code, and the Volunteer Firefighters’ Relief Association Act (VFRA Act). Overall, the relief association largely complied with regulations, except for findings related to unauthorized expenditures and inadequate signatory authority for fund disbursements. Unauthorized expenditures included a $425 payment to an officer, not allowed under the VFRA Act. The audit report, carried out without Government Auditing Standards, urged reimbursement and increased awareness of expenditure rules. Future state aid could be affected if the unauthorized expenditure isn’t reimbursed. The relief association was cooperative during the audit process. This is an automated summary.
