15 Financial Management By-Law 3. Financial Information Disclosure This relates to the need for accountability to membership and access to financial information. Disclosure also deals with Council member's requirement to provide information about potential financial benefits through Council decisions.

16 Financial Management By-Law 4. Dispute Resolution This section of the by-law ensures there is a process for redress where a band member feels they would be adversely affected by a Council or administrative decision. This area also includes a process for mediation or arbitration.
