About This Audit
An audit of the Thompson Volunteer Firemen’s Relief Association for the period January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2023, was conducted to verify compliance with state laws, contracts, bylaws, and administrative procedures relating to state aid and fund expenditures. Key findings included untimely receipt and deposit of state aid, unauthorized expenditures, duplicate payments, and inadequate signatory authority for disbursements. While the audit largely found compliance with relevant regulations, these significant issues warrant immediate attention and corrective action. The audit team discussed the contents of the report with the association’s management and incorporated their responses where suitable. It is essential for the association to address these findings to safeguard assets and ensure future compliance.
