Elevate 2026: Streamlining the Path from Audit to Financials
About this event
Elevate 2026 is a two-day, hands-on workshop from Wipfli built for tribal gaming finance, audit and accounting leaders and their teams. Rather than a traditional conference session track, the program walks participants through the entire revenue life cycle — from audit to financial reporting — and how processes, people and technology intersect at each step.
Sessions cover:
- Gaming and non-gaming audits, and how audit decisions influence downstream operations.
- Cage operations and revenue flows, with an emphasis on strengthening controls and reducing risk.
- Financial reporting alignment, to help ensure operational activity translates into accurate, timely financials.
- Transitioning from manual to automated environments without disrupting operations.
- Change management strategies that support adoption across finance and operations teams.
- The role of revenue audit software, DataBlend and artificial intelligence in improving transparency, strengthening controls and reducing risk.
The workshop is aimed at tribal gaming professionals looking to improve internal controls, gain clarity on how audit and operations connect to financial reporting, and prepare their organizations for continued change. Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits will be available for eligible participants.
Elevate 2026 takes place at Graton Resort and Casino, 288 Golf Course Drive West, Rohnert Park, California. For more information, contact Erica Reagle (erica.reagle@wipfli.com) at Wipfli.
