About This Audit
The compliance audit of the Fairfield Township Volunteer Firefighters Relief Association in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, was conducted for the period from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2024. This audit aimed to ensure compliance with applicable state laws, contracts, bylaws, and administrative procedures regarding the receipt and expenditure of state aid. The audit revealed that the association largely complied with these requirements, except for a noted issue of untimely deposit of state aid. Specifically, the 2023 state aid received from Fairfield Township was not deposited until 129 days after receipt. The delay was attributed to the erroneous deposit of funds into the fire company’s general account. The relief association plans to implement monthly reviews of bank statements to prevent future errors. Overall, the audit provided a reasonable basis for its conclusions, and compliance will be re-evaluated during the next audit. This is an automated summary.
