About This Audit

The compliance audit of the Newton-Wayne Firemen’s Relief Association was conducted for the period between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2024, based on the authority of Pennsylvania law. The audit aimed to confirm the association’s compliance with state laws, contracts, and procedures concerning the receipt of state aid and expenditure of funds. The audit found that the relief association largely adhered to these requirements but highlighted two issues: first, the association failed to secure its ownership interest in a jointly purchased vehicle, and second, its meeting minutes were inadequate. The report discussed these findings with the association’s management, and their responses were included. The relief association’s management agreed with the findings and took corrective action, such as re-titling the vehicle to include both the affiliated fire company and the relief association. Compliance with these agreements will be verified in the next audit. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
