Herrick Township Volunteer Firemen’s Relief Association – Bradford County – Audit Period January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024

A compliance audit was conducted on the Herrick Township Volunteer Firemen’s Relief Association covering January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2024, to determine compliance with state laws regarding the receipt and expenditure of state aid. The audit, guided by Pennsylvania statutes, included a review of financial practices but was not performed under Government Auditing Standards. A key finding was the untimely deposit of the 2023 state aid allocation from Orwell Township, initially deposited into an incorrect account and later adjusted. This oversight limited the association’s immediate funds and increased risks of fund misappropriation. Management agreed with the finding and pledged to improve internal controls for timely deposits. Further verification will occur in the next audit. Despite this issue, the association was otherwise compliant with relevant laws and procedures. This is an automated summary.
