About This Audit
An independent auditor conducted an examination of the Liquid Fuels Tax Fund for the Township of East Norwegian, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, covering January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2023. The responsibility for presenting Form MS-965 in accordance with specific criteria falls to the township’s management. The audit aimed to provide an opinion on whether these forms were accurately presented. Performed under the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and Government Auditing Standards, the audit found that the forms, including adjustments, met the Department of Transportation’s criteria without material misstatements and showed no significant deficiencies in internal control. The report aimed solely at confirming the correct use of tax funds per regulations and not at assessing compliance more broadly. The Auditor General appreciated the township’s cooperation and stressed the report’s limited applicability beyond its stated purpose. No instances of noncompliance were found during the examination.
