S E R V I C E S P R O V I D E D : Audit, Employee Benefit Plan Audit, Form 990

C L I E N T S I N C E : 2011

As the Chief Financial Officer of United Indian Health Services, Inc., I appreciate the

breadth of accounting and specialized services afforded by our partnership with REDW.

Their audit professionals bring a very high level of expertise in tribal healthcare to each

assignment. The team’s in-depth knowledge, such as the nuances of meeting Indian

Health Service requirements, brought immediate benefits to the audit process be-

cause they recognized exactly what was needed.

We first engaged REDW based on the firm’s long history in Indian Country and proven

track record assisting tribal healthcare facilities. We have since found more advantages

to working with them. For example, we have access to REDW experts who understand

how the Affordable Care Act affects tribal organizations. Having a team of well-rounded

business advisors with both extensive technical knowledge and industry perspective

is an excellent prescription for succeeding in the changing healthcare environment.

plan, coordinate and implement the transition, and we’ll deliver the highest quality services

tailored to meet your organizational structure, business enterprises and respective financial

objectives.

• Retirement Plan Services – REDW’s Employee Benefits Specialists are nationally

recognized for their expertise in retirement plan recordkeeping and plan-design consulting

services. We’re among the relatively few firms in the region with these special skills.

• Per Capita Plan Services – We can help you administer the payments and provide

recordkeeping and investment services for both minor and adult trusts. We can also advise

on both structuring the trusts and appropriate investment vehicles for each type of per

capita plan.

• Investment Management Services – REDW Stanley’s experienced team of wealth advisors

can design and manage an investment portfolio to help protect your Tribe’s economic

strength and stability for future generations. In addition, as a full-service management firm

offering a range of services beyond those of conventional companies, REDW Stanley can

provide retirement plan investment advisory services, fiduciary reviews, audits and

consulting, and financial education for employees and tribal members.

• Strategic Planning – Our professionals team up with tribal governments and related

organizations – of all sizes – working closely with their executives and governing bodies

to create strategic plans, map both organizational change and cultural shifts, and prepare

reports. Afterward, we can stay with you to ensure you achieve your objectives.

• Additional Tribal Services – We can also help with special needs, including:

audit preparation/accounting services; compensation studies; organizational

assessments; indirect cost proposals; human resources management; policy and

procedures manuals; and tax services unique to Tribes.

TOTAL COMMITMENT • Our commitment to Native America goes well beyond the quality accounting and business

services we offer. Through a variety of programs, we are dedicated to advancing the financial

management knowledge and capabilities of tribal leaders, employees and members.

• REDW hosts several major conferences each year featuring industry thought leaders.

These events provide information on the important issues affecting tribal governments

and businesses and the opportunity to meet with our tribal accounting, financial and

legal experts.

• We actively recruit and hire Native American accounting students at major universities

in the southwestern U.S.

• To encourage bright Native American students to pursue accounting careers, we offer

university scholarships that greatly ease the financial burden.

• REDW supports the talents of Native American artists in meaningful ways. For example,

we often contract the work of local artisans or dancers for our tribal conferences.

In addition, artists frequently visit our offices for a “show and sell” that directly benefits

the economy of tribal members in the region.

AUDIT AND COMPLIANCEREDW understands you need solid systems for accounting, financial reporting, internal controls

and other basic financial support systems. Our quality audits reflect our keen understanding of

both the latest federal or other applicable compliance guidelines and your requirement for internal

controls and accountability to strengthen your government and community.

We work with you to connect our audit findings back to your business by helping you to identify

revenue opportunities and cost-saving strategies. Our collaborative approach in working with

your accounting team can also help to enhance their financial management skills and provide

open, honest communication to those charged with governance regarding audit results and

recommendations.

CASINO GAMINGWe know tribal gaming involves complex legal and operational issues requiring expert management

skills. We’ve worked with tribal gaming clients since the inception of the industry and our seasoned

guidance can help you develop strong internal controls and accounting systems.

In addition to audit and compliance, we provide many more services. These include: development

and/or implementation of policies and procedures that comply with NIGC Minimum Internal

Control Standards; technical assistance for negotiating management contracts and state

compacts; and establishing tribal gaming commissions. We also understand that tribal gaming

enterprises face unique tax reporting requirements and we provide the guidance and tax

reporting assistance you need.

accounting. As members of the AICPA’s Gaming Task Force, we provided content and technical

expertise to produce the latest AICPA Gaming Audit & Accounting Guide, the first major rewrite in
