Large volumes of transactions, credit cards, turnover in personnel, greedy employees, Federal money, all of these create inherent risk for Tribal Government and Tribal Enterprises. Let the Certified Fraud Examiners from JOSEPH EVE put the Tribal Member or Tribal Council concerns to rest. Payroll fraud, fraudulent disbursements, kickback schemes, theft from the machines, we have seen it all. Our fraud examiners will complete a detailed investigation and if fraud is found, they will show you how it happened, why it happened, and how to prevent it.

The objective of a Cost Recovery Audit is to assist the Tribe in identifying and recovering excessive and erroneous payments to suppliers. These payments may involve over billing, duplicate payments to vendors, construction or contract overruns, or other mistakes in the disbursement process. Once the erroneous and excessive payments are identified, we will contact the supplier to enable you to recover the overpayments. Once the engagement is complete, a report of the findings, which will include solutions to improve the accounts payable process, will be presented to the Tribal Government.

Tribal Leadership Series

Auditing of Tribal Governments and other Tribal entities is our primary niche at JOSEPH EVE. We primarily serve:

• Tribal Governments
• Tribal Casinos
• Tribal Business Enterprises
• Tribal Housing Authorities
• Tribal Colleges

We have invested in state-of-the-art auditing tools such as CaseWare™, an automated work paper and analytical review tool, and IDEA™, an audit tool used for analyzing accounts payable, inventory, and other income statement and balance sheet accounts for unusual transactions.

Our audit staff consists of Certified Public Accountants, Certified Fraud Examiners, Internal Control Specialists, Internal Auditors, and Information Technology Auditors. The staff assigned to your audit will have a unique combination of education and on-the-job training that enables them to provide solutions specifically tailored to your Tribal organization. All of our staff attends extensive in-house and external training on Tribal accounting, auditing, and specific issues unique to Tribal Governments.

Another unique aspect of JOSEPH EVE is partner involvement. Each of the partner’s at JOSEPH EVE is actively involved in all aspects of your audit including audit planning, audit fieldwork, and report issuance. We do not feel partner involvement from the “office” is an effective way to run an audit or establish client relationships. We also feel that our most important clients deserve personalized attention from the owners.

Timely and accurate completion of these audits is important and can impact future Federal assistance. We have made a strong and continued commitment to providing the highest quality and timely audits and accounting services to tribal gaming operations, tribal governments and organizations throughout the United States.
