NWAC says it’s co-operating with a federal audit while conducting its own internal review

The Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC) says its current management has “discovered serious and significant financial irregularities” that its board was unaware of, as it shutters businesses and sells off property worth millions of dollars.

The prominent national advocacy group has been engulfed in turmoil over the last year, but it now says it wants to return to collective advocacy, saying in an unsigned statement issued Tuesday that it’s co-operating fully with a federal audit covering fiscal years 2018-2024 while conducting an internal review of its own.
