The Board of Auditors is comprised of three individuals who are elected by the residents of Penn Township for staggered two, four or six-year terms.  The duties of the elected auditors are detailed in Section 900 of the Pennsylvania Second Class Township Code.

Penn Township currently contracts with an independent certified public accounting firm (Smith, Elliott, Kearns & Company, LLC) to provide an annual audit of the Township’s financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Therefore, the current duty of the elected auditors is limited to determining the compensation and mileage reimbursement for supervisors employed by the Township in accordance with Section 606 and to proform the Tax Collector Audit.
