Haisla Nation, located on British Columbia’s northern coast, has achieved the Financial Management System (FMS) Certification from the First Nations Financial Management Board (FMB)—the highest financial certification available through the board.
The certification confirms that the Nation meets rigorous international standards for financial management, governance, and transparency. It also recognizes the systems Haisla has built to ensure long-term financial accountability and stability.
This milestone is a significant step in Haisla Nation’s journey toward financial independence and sustainable growth. It also positions the Nation to pursue large-scale projects, attract investment, and deliver enhanced services to members.
The FMS certification reflects the efforts of Haisla’s finance team and leadership, who have worked over several years to strengthen internal systems and ensure community priorities are embedded in decision-making.
With stronger financial and governance structures in place, Haisla Nation is now better equipped to take on transformative initiatives that will benefit both current and future generations.
The certification opens new opportunities for nation-building and economic development—helping to ensure prosperity for years to come.
