Roadmap for Reform: the Fiduciary Trust Model

The As-Is Trust Business Model report is presented to the Office of the Special Trustee for American Indians (OST) of the Department of the Interior (DOI). The As-Is Model represents the first comprehensive documentation of the major processes supporting the Indian Trust, and their inter-relationships. Through development of the model, the Department has achieved the following benefits:

  • Established a comprehensive understanding of current Trust business operations
  • Documented variances among geographic regions, and their causes (e.g., due to federal, state or local laws, treaties, court rulings, local practices)
  • Identified current issues and opportunities for improvement so as to provide a basis for a To-Be process reengineering of the Indian Trust
