Rheems Fire Company Relief Association – Lancaster County – Audit Period January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023

The Rheems Fire Company Relief Association underwent a Limited Procedures Engagement (LPE) for the period from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2023. The aim was to verify that funds were used for authorized purposes and state aid was deposited in line with the Volunteer Firefighters’ Relief Association Act and Act 205 of 1984. The review involved examining financial transactions, expenditures totaling $196,071, and whether state aid funds were deposited accurately and timely. While most aspects met state law requirements, the direct independent verification of the cash balance of $180,678 was not feasible. Despite this, no unauthorized fund usage was identified. The report emphasized the importance of maintaining comprehensive documentation and highlighted that a future compliance audit could occur. The findings and the procedures followed were communicated to the relief association’s management. This report is publicly accessible and available online.
