Volunteer Firemen’s Relief Association of the Borough of Dunmore – Lackawanna County – Audit Period January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024

The compliance audit of the Volunteer Firemen’s Relief Association of the Borough of Dunmore, conducted for January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2024, aimed to assess corrective actions from a prior audit and compliance with state laws and regulations for state aid and fund expenditures. The audit, not conducted under Government Auditing Standards, found that the association appropriately addressed previous audit findings and generally complied with relevant regulations except for an issue with pre-signed blank checks. Although intended to simplify operations during officers’ absences, pre-signing checks exposed the association to financial risks. The audit recommended discontinuing this practice immediately and ensuring all checks are signed only after verifying necessary documentation. Management agreed to comply with the recommendations.
