The Washington Township Volunteer Fire Company Relief Fund – Lycoming County – Audit Period January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024

A compliance audit was conducted for The Washington Township Volunteer Fire Company Relief Fund in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, covering January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2024. The audit, authorized under Pennsylvania law, had two objectives: to ensure corrective actions were taken from a previous audit and to check compliance with state laws regarding fund management and state aid expenditure. The audit concluded that while one previous finding was addressed, the relief fund failed to obtain a Pennsylvania Sales Tax Exemption Number, reusing another entity’s number instead. This noncompliance could lead to financial penalties and potential withholding of state aid. The relief association’s management was notified, and their feedback was documented. Despite limited audit procedures, the findings highlight the need for improved internal controls regarding tax compliance. Overall, while some corrective actions were taken, the failure to address all prior findings indicates a need for continual improvement in compliance efforts. This is an automated summary.
