Dunnstown Volunteer Firefighters’ Relief Association – Clinton County – Audit Period January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024

A compliance audit was conducted for the Dunnstown Volunteer Firefighters’ Relief Association covering January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2024. The audit aimed to verify compliance with state laws and administrative procedures related to state aid and fund expenditure. Despite overall compliance, four significant issues were found: unauthorized expenditures, outdated bylaws, failure to hold meetings, and inadequate signatory authority for fund disbursement. Notably, a total of $1,631 in unauthorized expenditures, such as non-fire police badges and non-member training, were identified. These expenditures are not sanctioned under the Volunteer Firefighters’ Relief Association Act. The audit emphasizes the importance of timely implementing the recommendations to address these discrepancies. Such actions are critical to ensure continued aid and proper financial management within the association. The cooperation of relief association officials during the audit process is acknowledged and appreciated.
