AUDIT TRACK: Audit, Assessment, or Review?

Choosing the Right Lens for Casino Operations

During this session, we explored the differences between an audit, assessment, and review, and why choosing the right approach matters. Using casino cage and vault operations as a practical example, Doug walked through how each approach differs in purpose, scope, procedures, evidence, and results.

The resources below are designed to help you revisit those concepts, apply what you’ve learned, and feel more confident choosing the right approach for your operations.

AUDIT TRACK: Revenue Audit

The Intersection of Compliance and Financial Integrity

During this session, we explored the important role Revenue Audit plays in protecting the financial integrity of casino operations and supporting regulatory compliance. Doug walked through how an effective Revenue Audit function helps validate gaming revenue, strengthen internal controls, identify operational weaknesses, and reduce the risk of errors, fraud, and noncompliance.

The resources below are designed to help you revisit these concepts, recognize potential warning signs, and better understand what an effective Revenue Audit department should accomplish.
