Unionville Volunteer Fire Company Relief Association – Butler County – Audit Period January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023

The compliance audit for the Unionville Volunteer Fire Company Relief Association, covering January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2023, identified significant compliance issues. Conducted under Pennsylvania state laws, the audit found that the association did not fully comply with regulations governing the receipt and expenditure of state aid. Key findings included unauthorized expenditures totaling $21,115, the inappropriate commingling of funds, and inadequate documentation of meetings and bylaws. The unauthorized expenditures were related to fire company package policy premiums, which are not authorized by the VFRA Act. These issues could lead to the withholding of future state aid. The audit strongly recommends the implementation of corrective actions to address these findings. The report appreciates the cooperation of the relief association officials throughout the process. Compliance with state regulations is crucial to ensure the proper use of public funds and maintain financial integrity.
