Financial Services & Credit Unions
Caribbean financial services operate under some of the region’s most demanding regulation. Banks, credit unions, building societies, insurers and fintech operators face Basel-aligned capital rules, IFRS reporting, AML/CFT obligations and active supervision from central banks and financial services commissions.
Dawgen Global serves institutions across the sector: statutory audits, IFRS 9 and IFRS 17 support, internal audit, risk frameworks, AML programme reviews and regulatory reporting — delivered by a team that understands both the standards and the regional context.
Sector pressures
- Basel-aligned capital and provisioning requirements (including IFRS 9 expected credit loss models)
- AML/CFT programmes, FATCA/CRS reporting and correspondent-banking de-risking
- IFRS 17 implementation for insurers and complex revenue recognition
- Credit-union supervision strengthening and deposit-insurance coverage rules
- Cybersecurity, digital channels and third-party/fintech risk oversight
- Rising regulatory reporting volume against constrained internal teams
Regulators and oversight
- Bank of Jamaica and regional central banks (ECCB, Central Bank of Trinidad & Tobago, Central Bank of Barbados)
- Financial Services Commission (Jamaica) and equivalent regional commissions
- Jamaica Deposit Insurance Corporation (JDIC) and regional deposit-insurance schemes
- Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) standards via local FIUs
- Proceeds of Crime Act / AML-CFT supervisory designated authorities
