The National Indian Gaming Commission issued a notice of violation to the Kaw Nation of Oklahoma for submitting a late report related to the minimum internal control standards (MICS).

The Agreed Upon Procedures (AUP) report is supposed to be submitted within 180 days of the end of a fiscal year. But the NIGC says the it didn't receive the Kaw Nation's report for several months.

"The current leadership of the Kaw Nation has been responsive to NIGC�s concerns in this regard, but in view of the Tribe�s delinquency of more that 180 days, an NOV at this time was merited," said NIGC Chairman Phil Hogen.

According to the NIGC, an AUP report verifies that a gaming operation is in compliance with the MICS. But a federal appeals court recently ruled that the NIGC can't enforce the MICS on Class III operations.

The Kaw Nation operates the South Wind Casino in Newkirk.
