About This Audit

A compliance audit was conducted on the Lower Merion Township Firemen’s Relief Association for the period of January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2024. The audit aimed to assess corrective actions from a prior audit and compliance with state laws regarding state aid and fund expenditures. It revealed that while some corrective actions were implemented, the association did not fully comply with state regulations, particularly due to unauthorized cell phone expenditure reimbursements and failure to secure equipment ownership agreements. Consequently, the association risks potential withholding of future state aid. Overall, the audit emphasizes the need for more stringent adherence to regulations concerning financial practices.
