The Honesdale Firemen’s Relief Association – Wayne County – Audit Period January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024

A compliance audit of The Honesdale Firemen’s Relief Association, covering January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2024, was conducted according to Pennsylvania’s constitutional and statutory requirements. The audit aimed to assess the association’s corrective measures concerning a prior audit finding and their compliance with relevant laws and administrative procedures for handling state aid and association funds. Although the audit was thorough, it was not conducted under Government Auditing Standards. The audit found the association largely compliant with legal and procedural requirements, but it failed to implement recommendations from prior audits, notably regarding the untimely deposit of state aid. Specifically, a 2022 state aid allocation was not deposited until March 2023, indicating a lack of oversight. The findings underscore the need for better internal controls and adherence to prudent financial practices. The association’s management has been informed and urged to rectify these issues promptly.
