Meadville Volunteer Firefighter’s Relief Association – Crawford County – Audit Period January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025

The compliance audit of the Meadville Volunteer Firefighter’s Relief Association, conducted for the period January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2025, evaluated adherence to state laws, contracts, bylaws, and administrative procedures concerning the receipt and use of state aid. The audit found that the association addressed previous issues and largely complied with these requirements, though it noted the omission of a death benefit provision in the bylaws as an area of concern. Despite this oversight, payments were made appropriately based on the prior criteria. The association’s financial management was deemed responsible, maintaining an effective record of transactions, and was commended for resolving a prior issue related to surety bond coverage. The association, primarily focused on providing death benefits, must amend its bylaws to reinstate death benefit provisions to ensure continued compliance. This is an automated summary.
