Assurance that Adds Value: Turning Audit Insights into Strategic Advantage

In many companies, audits are treated as a necessary obligation—something to get through for regulators, lenders, or tax authorities. But at Dawgen Global, we see audits differently. We believe an audit shouldn’t just verify your numbers; it should strengthen your decisions, improve your performance, and elevate your business strategy. An audit that only ticks compliance...

Is Bigger Always Better? The Case for Boutique Audit Excellence in Jamaica

For decades, the “Big 4” audit firms—PwC, KPMG, EY, and Deloitte—have dominated conversations around audit quality, especially in the Caribbean.

In a market like Jamaica, where businesses range from fast-growing SMEs to...

Audit Readiness: Preparing Jamaican Companies for IPOs, Investments, and Global Expansion
