About This Audit
A compliance audit was conducted for the Tinicum Firemen’s Relief Association in Tinicum Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, covering January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2024. The audit aimed to evaluate whether prior audit findings were addressed and if the association complied with relevant state laws and procedures regarding state aid and fund expenditures. The audit revealed that previous issues had been corrected and compliance was largely achieved. However, one significant finding highlighted the untimely receipt and deposit of the 2023 state aid, with the funds only reaching the association in 2025, well past the municipality’s required 60-day distribution timeframe. This delay was attributed to a municipal clerical error compounded by the association’s lack of follow-up, raising concerns about potential financial risks. The audit recommends enhancing internal controls to prevent recurrence. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
