About This Audit
The compliance audit of The Relief Association of the Kutztown Fire Company No. 1, covering January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2024, aimed to assess corrective actions taken on previous findings and to ensure compliance with state laws related to state aid and expenditure of funds. The audit found that the relief association effectively addressed five out of eight prior issues but failed on three significant points: undocumented expenditures, lack of meeting minutes, and incomplete equipment records. Additionally, the relief association did not update bylaws. Despite these issues, compliance with relevant laws and procedures was largely observed. The auditors stressed the importance of implementing improvements promptly, noting the relief association’s responsibility for maintaining effective internal controls and proper financial documentation. The audit findings were discussed with the management, and the auditors appreciated their cooperation. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
