Recognizing the urgent need for support, Tribes enlisted the expertise of Native Advisory. Through a meticulous review of the law and the spending rules, Native Advisory crafted a bespoke strategy that included comprehensive compliance literacy training for tribal leaders, the development of easy-to-use checklists and templates, and rigorous implementation and monitoring processes to help ensure 100% clean audit outcomes.

The results were invaluable and transformative. Tribes were able to move quickly with their spending decisions—racing against spending deadlines, while also enabling them to be prudent and thoughtful. As such, they took care of their People with distributions, invested in food sovereignty efforts that will last years into the future, spent wisely on mental and behavioral health services, made permanent improvements to their communities, and most importantly, protected lives, culture, languages, and families.
