There are three elected auditor positions for persons elected for staggered six year terms, ending in odd years.  These persons perform annual audits of the Township finances, unless the Board of Supervisors has engaged a professional Certified Public Accountant or Accounting Firm to do those audits.  If so, the elected auditors are to meet on the Tuesday after the first Monday of January to set the compensation rate for any Supervisor who may be employed to do work for the Township.  There are no Supervisors currently working for the Township.  All three current Elected Auditor positions are vacant.  The Township currently utilizes the accounting firm of S F and Company of York, Pennsylvania to perform its annual audit.
