Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, NV
Protecting Your Hosts and Your Casino: Ethics in the 21st Century

Dive into the real-world issues facing hosts, from gifts from players that could be construed as bribes to all of the other situations where hosts can be compromised or make a decision that may not be in the best interest of their employer, their customer, or themselves (and sometimes ALL THREE).
Panelist include:
Kevin Huddleston, CPA, CGMA, CFF, Accounting and Auditing, and Partner Finley & Cook
James Snead, Chief Financial Officer, Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino

OIGA Conference and Trade Show
Workshop: Audit Reports
We’re Not Gonna Take It!
Internal and External audits help provide feedback to Casinos with regard to areas of weakness or non-compliance. These audits and reports can help a Casino improve internal controls and reduce the potential for fraud and theft, but what if you don’t completely understand or agree with a finding on the report? How do you ask for clarification? What should you do when you disagree with an auditor’s finding?
Tackle this topic from the perspective of the auditor, the operation, and the gaming commission, then stop by booth #514 and visit with us for a one-on-one consultation.
