About This Audit
The independent auditor examined Conneaut Township’s Liquid Fuels Tax Fund (Form MS-965) for the year 2023, with the responsibility of determining if it meets criteria set by Pennsylvania’s Department of Transportation’s Publication 9. This audit followed standards from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Government Auditing Standards. The audit asserted that Form MS-965 correctly reflects the financial activities for 2023 in all material aspects. However, a material internal control weakness was found: authorized check signers are related, which could compromise financial integrity. The report’s purpose is to ensure compliance with relevant laws, and no other issues of noncompliance were noted. The audit underscores the necessity of adhering to regulatory requirements to secure the appropriate use of state-distributed funds.
