If your Tribal entity has opted to suppress their audit on the Tribal release form, this data will be kept private.
Because our certification checklist applies to all audits, it includes the following statement: "The full reporting package and auditor's report may be shared publicly by the FAC or the report auditee, as required by Uniform Guidance."
This doesn’t mean that the submission will be shared publicly, only that it could be, if required by the Uniform Guidance. The guidance also allows Tribal entities to opt out of this requirement, and that’s why the FAC has the Tribal data release form.
If your Tribal entity has chosen to suppress its audit on the Tribal release form, this information will remain confidential. Only authorized agency users will be able to access your full submission. The final item on the certification checklist doesn't override the Tribal data release election.
