Versailles Volunteer Firefighters’ Relief Association – Allegheny County – Audit Period January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024

The compliance audit of the Versailles Volunteer Firefighters’ Relief Association for January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2024, revealed noncompliance with a prior audit recommendation. The association did not obtain a Pennsylvania sales tax exemption number, instead using another entity’s number, contrary to state regulations. While the association complied with most state laws, bylaws, and procedures regarding state aid and fund expenditure, this key compliance issue persisted. The organization’s management was urged to take corrective action. Audit results stressed the importance of effective internal controls and adherence to applicable state laws, emphasizing the need for the association to secure its own sales tax exemption number to prevent penalties. The audit included a review of financial records and concluded that, except for the noted finding, the association largely adhered to legal requirements. This is an automated summary.
