OKMULGEE, Oklahoma – Mvskoke Media received a tip from a concerned citizen concerning the status of required internal audits of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation financial system. The citizen had contacted their MCN National Council representative to learn more about the status of these audits, and were told the audits were late to be filed.
Mvskoke Media contacted MCN National Council Speaker Will Lowe to find out if the Council had been informed of the situation. Speaker Lowe stated that both he and Chief Hill were given a quick update on the audits on Aug. 14. Lowe included a quote from an email he had received from MCN Controller Patricia Kilian.
“The FY20 is complete, and the FY21 should be completed by next week. We have been preparing for the FY22 audit as we were working on 21. We hope to be caught up with the FY23 audit.”
MCN Code Title 37 subchapter 6 deals with MCN audits. According to Section 2-607, “A. Each audit required by this Act shall be completed and the audit report thereon shall be submitted by the auditor to the National Council within twelve (12) months after the close of the fiscal year of the Nation.” The MCN fiscal year ends each September.
Mvskoke Media contacted MCN Controller Patricia Kilian to ascertain why these audits had been delayed and obtain a copy of the audits, but had not received a response at the time of the publishing of this article.
Mvskoke Media will have ongoing coverage of this developing story.
Because the truths will show that the citizens have been played as fools and misappropriated funds do exist
the audit was not one of the controller’s priorities . it was terminating our creek citizens so she can replace with non citizens. who did not do their job for three years. the controller and the people she surrounds herself with. termination action should be considered
.
the audit was not the controller’s priority. she was busy terminating full creek citizens, so she could replace them with a non tribal person. looks like the controller didn’t do her job for 3 years. this should be grounds for termination for herself and the people that surround her.
so will there be a surprise stimulus check for the Creek citizens,,wow we have extra covid money
