About This Audit

The Penns Creek Volunteer Firemen’s Relief Association in Snyder County, Pennsylvania, underwent a compliance audit for the period from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2024, by the Department of the Auditor General. The audit aimed to verify compliance with state laws, contracts, bylaws, and administrative procedures related to state aid and fund expenditures. It concluded that the association generally complied, except for a noted instance where they failed to provide a Pennsylvania sales tax exemption certificate to a vendor, resulting in an improper $317 tax payment. The audit recommends the association seek a refund for the tax and ensure future vendors receive the exemption certificate. The relief association’s management agreed to address the issue. The report emphasized responsible handling of public funds and adherence to legal and procedural guidelines, and it was shared with relevant local and state officials. This is an automated summary.
