In 2022, Musqueam passed our own Financial Administration Law. Prior to this, Musqueam was governed by the First Nations Financial Transparency Act, which applied to all First Nations/Indian Bands in Canada.
Under both laws, Musqueam is required to undergo an annual audit by an independent third-party. Musqueam’s audit includes a thorough review of financial operations, assets, cash flow, surplus, and overall financial position.
Once complete, the audit is reviewed and recommended to Musqueam Chief & Council by Musqueam’s Finance & Administration Committee. The final step is to present the audit to membership and post on our website.
