About This Audit

A compliance audit was performed for the North Fayette Township Volunteer Firemen’s Relief Association in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, covering January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2024. The audit aimed to assess compliance with state laws, contracts, bylaws, and procedures regarding state aid receipt and fund expenditure. The audit, not following U.S. government auditing standards, concluded general compliance but noted issues such as unauthorized expenditures and failure to maintain meeting minutes. Background details revealed the association’s receipt of state aid and its responsibility to manage funds adhering to the Volunteer Firefighters’ Relief Association Act. Key findings include unauthorized spending totaling $2,147 on items like electrical work, medical supplies, and bulk greeting cards, which do not align with authorized expenses under the VFRA Act. The officials were unaware of these restrictions. The report was discussed with management, and their responses were included, acknowledging the assistance provided during the audit process.
