About This Audit
An audit of the Shenango Township Volunteer Firefighters Relief Association in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, covering January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2024, assessed compliance with state laws, contracts, bylaws, and administrative procedures concerning state aid and fund expenditures. The relief association addressed three of six previous findings, including improving meeting minutes, segregating officers’ duties, and maintaining financial records. However, three issues remain uncorrected: undocumented expenditures, unauthorized expenditures, and insufficient equipment and membership rosters. Additional audit findings include inappropriate account registration and a short-term loan to an affiliated fire company, which was repaid. Despite these areas of noncompliance, the association largely adhered to regulations, though the audit urges timely correction of the ongoing issues. This is an automated summary.
