Crescent Township Volunteer Firefighters Relief Association – Allegheny County – Audit Period January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2023

The compliance audit of the Crescent Township Volunteer Firefighters Relief Association, conducted from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2023, aimed to ensure adherence to state laws, contracts, bylaws, and procedures concerning state aid and fund expenditures. Although generally compliant, the audit identified issues regarding the lack of meeting minutes for 2020 and outdated bylaws referencing legislation inconsistent with the current VFRA Act. The relief association overcame missing minutes by producing those from 2021 to 2023, yet the bylaws remain outdated, which could lead to unauthorized actions. The audit recommends maintaining detailed meeting minutes and updating bylaws according to VFRA Act requirements to ensure compliance and transparency. This report was collaborative, involving discussions with the relief association’s management, and highlights the commitment to fiscal responsibility and operational accuracy.
