Kristi Noem calls for audit of tribes

RAPID CITY, S.D. – South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem issued a statement Tuesday calling for the Biden administration to conduct single audits of all federal funds given to the nine Oceti Sakowin tribes in South Dakota.

In a letter to U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and U.S. Comptroller Gene Dodaro, Noem asked for comprehensive single audits of federal funds given to the nine tribes in South Dakota.

Specifically, Noem, a Republican, asked for an OMB Circular-A-133 audit, which is an organization-wide financial statement and federal-awards audit of a non-federal entity which expends $750,000 or more in federal funds per year.
