The FMB's Certifications are based on international finance and governance standards and adapted to meet the needs of First Nations. Other certifications like ISO are not specific to First Nations.
Every forward-looking First Nation needs these three things:
- A way to borrow and make money
- A community that runs smoothly
- A long-term community plan
Take a look at the benefits that your First Nation could have by becoming certified with the FMB.
For community
Good governance and finance practices build member trust and pride in their First Nation. They can also help improve the long-term quality of life for everyone.
For council
Nation Councils face unique challenges. We can support you in taking matters into your own hands as you shape your First Nation’s long-term future.
For staff
Putting in place governance and finance practices makes it easier for staff to get things done. We can support you in your work for your First Nation.
