The Seminar Purpose?Most Tribal Casinos have made a significant investment in the internal audit and gaming commission function recommended by the NIGC Minimum Internal Control Standards. However, external audit and NIGC scrutiny have resulted in numerous compliance violations as it relates to the internal audit function. As the internal audit role has evolved, so has the responsibility upon the department. Annual continuing education also helps ensure that your auditors are following the Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing promulgated by the Institute of Internal Auditors.
