About This Audit

A compliance audit was conducted on the Darlington Township Volunteer Firemen’s Relief Association in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, for the period from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2024. The audit aimed to verify corrective actions taken on previous findings, as well as compliance with state laws, contracts, bylaws, and procedures related to state aid. The audit identified four key issues: untimely receipts and deposits of state aid, failure to hold and document meetings, incomplete equipment records, and inadequate bylaws. The association complied with one of two prior audit findings by requiring multiple signatories on payments but continued to face issues with timely state aid deposits. The audit emphasized the need for prompt implementation of recommendations. The audit report, discussed with association management, included their responses and urged timely action on findings. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
