Volunteer Firemens’ Relief Association of Newportville, PA – Bucks County – Audit Period January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024

A compliance audit of the Volunteer Firemen’s Relief Association of Newportville, PA was conducted for the period of January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2024. The audit sought to evaluate if corrective actions from a prior audit were implemented, and to assess compliance with state laws, contracts, bylaws, and administrative procedures related to state aid and fund expenditures. It was found that the relief association failed to address issues from the previous audit and did not comply significantly with applicable laws and procedures. Specifically, there were unauthorized expenditures of $10,975, lack of proceeds from a vehicle sale, and inappropriate ownership of a boat trailer. These issues could affect future state aid distributions. Despite an investment balance of $65,000, an independent confirmation was not obtained. The findings were shared with the management, who cooperated with the audit process, but the association may face potential withholding of future state aid. This is an automated summary.
