An audit of the Kimberton Firemen’s Relief Association for the period from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2024, revealed partial adherence to compliance requirements. While the association addressed one finding from the previous audit, it failed to correct the issue of inadequate signatory authority for fund disbursement. The audit identified unauthorized and undocumented expenditures, as well as inadequate internal controls. Total expenditures for this period amounted to $598,039, with significant funds allocated towards fire service equipment and training. The relief association is responsible for maintaining effective internal controls and ensuring compliance with state laws, contracts, and administrative procedures regarding the use of state aid. While their financial affairs mostly align with these requirements, a few exceptions highlight areas needing improvement. The report indicates multiple findings that were discussed with the management, who were prompted to implement corrective actions. This is an automated summary.
