McKean Volunteer Fireman’s Relief Association, Incorporated – Erie County – Audit Period January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023

The compliance audit for McKean Volunteer Fireman’s Relief Association was conducted for the period from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2023. Its purpose was to verify corrective actions from previous audits and assess compliance with relevant laws and procedures regarding state aid and funds expenditure. The audit revealed the association addressed four out of seven previous findings but failed to tackle three ongoing issues: insufficient surety bond coverage, inadequate meeting minutes, and incomplete equipment records. Additionally, untimely deposits of state aid were noted. Despite these issues, the association was mostly compliant with state requirements. The audit emphasized the need for timely implementation of audit recommendations, and the findings were discussed with the association’s management. Cooperation from the association was acknowledged and appreciated.
