GASPORT FIRE CO. DOES WELL IN STATE AUDIT

Since the organizations receive substantial amounts of taxpayer funding, the Office of the State Comptroller conducts periodic audits of fire companies throughout the state. Some audits turn up glaring mistakes, such as the recently released audit of Corfu Fire Department that showed $7,000 in undocumented expenditures.

The Office publicly released their audit of the Gasport Chemical Hose Company this week, along with Gasport's official response.

You'll see that Gasport fared very well. There were no discrepancies in the financials and the Comptroller's team offered only some minor suggestions regarding procedural oversight by the board.
