Fiscal Accountability
Under Chairman Jandreau's leadership, the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe was among the most timely of tribes in the Northern Great Plains' Region to file Single Audit reports each fiscal year. The opinions of audit firms for Fiscal Years 1997 through 2013 generally reflected the Tribe's commitment to strong internal controls and to following its fiscal policies and procedures. The Lower Brule Sioux Tribe received Unqualified (Unmodified) audit reports for twelve of these seventeen audit years, and Qualified (Modified) audit reports for the other five years. Moreover, with regard to Major Program Compliance, the Tribe was only issued Qualified (Modified) opinions two out of the seventeen aforementioned fiscal years. Copies of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe's Single Audit Reports for FY1997 thru FY2013 are freely available on the Federal Audit Clearinghouse website (https://web.archive.org/web/20000619103409/http://harvester.census.gov/).
