The Tribal Council hired a new CFO in August of 2024. The CFO has been working closely with the Tribal Treasurer, as well as the rest of the Tribal Council and the Finance Department staff, to ensure that appropriate financial policies and procedures are in place and followed consistently. Increased checks and balances have been implemented relative to Payroll, Travel Advances, the Tribal Loan program, and Purchase Orders and Payment Vouchers. Additionally, time entry software has been implemented across the greater part of Tribal operations, with biometric time clocks utilized at many worksites. Time sheets are approved by Program Directors and/or Tribal Council, and, beginning with FY2025, all time sheets reflecting Overtime are also reviewed by the CFO.
