Why attend

The National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) Minimum Internal Control Standards (MICS) have seen several changes over the years.

This online seminar will provide guidance on continued compliance with the NIGC Minimum Internal Control Standards.

MICS compliance can be significantly complex with the continued expansion of gaming and technology in several jurisdictions. By attending this training, you will discover how to develop sound internal controls, identify frequently noted MICS issues, and review case studies from our experience.
