Elevate 2026: Streamlining the Path from Audit to Financials
2026-08-26 - 2026-08-27 | Graton Resort & Casino, 288 Golf Course Dr. W, Rohnert Park, CA
Wipfli will host Elevate 2026: Streamlining the Path from Audit to Financials, a two-day in-person workshop designed for tribal gaming finance, audit and accounting leaders and team members on August 26 and 27, at Graton Resort and Casino in Rohnert Park, California.
Unlike traditional conference sessions, Elevate 2026 is a hands-on, end-to-end workshop focused on how tribal gaming organizations can improve accuracy, efficiency and control across the full revenue life cycle — from audit to financial reporting. The workshop is designed for organizations navigating increasing operational complexity, evolving technology and raising expectations around financial transparency and control.
“Revenue processes in tribal gaming don’t operate in silos, but are often managed that way,” said Grant Eve, partner, Wipfli. “Elevate 2026 is designed to bring audit, operations and finance together so teams can clearly see how decisions upstream affect reporting and controls downstream. That end-to-end understanding is critical as organizations move toward more automated environments and stronger risk management.”
What makes Elevate 2026 different
Participants will work through the entire revenue journey and gain practical insights into how processes, people and technology intersect, including:

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.

This integrated approach is designed to help tribal gaming organizations break down silos, improve consistency across teams and operate with greater confidence across the full revenue life cycle.
Elevate 2026 is ideal for tribal gaming professionals looking to improve internal controls, gain clarity on how audit and operations connect to financial reporting and better prepare their organizations for continued change. Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits will be available for eligible participants.
