Accounting systems in Tribal gaming do far more than record numbers — they play a critical role in protecting assets, supporting compliance, and providing reliable information for decision-makers and regulators. This moderated panel explores how Tribal gaming organizations can better utilize their accounting systems to strengthen internal controls, reduce inefficiencies, and gain clearer operational insight.

Panelists will discuss the role accounting systems play within the broader financial “team,” sharing real-world experiences on system capabilities, common underutilization, and challenges such as integration, training, and reliance on spreadsheets outside the system. The conversation will also address how Tribes can evaluate system effectiveness, support long-term success, and ensure their accounting technology continues to meet operational and regulatory needs.

Designed for Tribal gaming regulators, finance professionals, and leadership, this session focuses on practical lessons learned — not software demonstrations — and offers guidance attendees can rely on to make better use of the tools they already have.
