The Forensic Playbook — Your First 72 Hours

February 3, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

How to preserve evidence, control the narrative, and make decisions you can defend—fast. When an incident breaks—fraud, cyber compromise, inventory shrinkage, procurement abuse—the first 72 hours decide the outcome. Most organisations lose leverage because they (1) delay preservation, (2) interview too early without evidence, (3) contaminate logs and devices, or (4) chase symptoms instead...

Dawgen Decodes: Internal Audit & Risk-Based Assurance — The Board’s Early-Warning System (Not a Compliance Ritual)

February 2, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Executive Summary Internal audit is often misunderstood as a policing function or a yearly checklist. In modern organisations—especially in distribution/retail and manufacturing—internal audit is the board’s early-warning system: it tests whether controls actually work, whether risks are being managed, and whether management reporting can be trusted for decisions. This article introduces a practical, Caribbean-ready approach...

In the World Economic Forum’s 2026 risk outlook, “adverse outcomes of AI technologies” is among the most material risks organizations expect to face. This article explains what “adverse AI...

Adverse Outcomes of AI Technologies in 2026: Turning AI From a Risk Multiplier Into a Competitive Advantage

February 1, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

In 2026, the risk is no longer “whether to use AI,” but how to prevent AI from amplifying operational, legal, reputational, and financial exposure. Adverse AI outcomes typically arise from a small...

Cyber Insecurity in 2026: How to Build a Resilient, Board-Ready Cyber Risk Strategy

February 1, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Executive Summary In 2026, cyber insecurity is no longer a “technology problem”—it is a business continuity, financial, legal, and reputational risk. The threat landscape has expanded on multiple fronts: ransomware-as-a-service, supply-chain compromise, credential theft, cloud misconfiguration, insider risk, and—critically—AI-enabled cybercrime (phishing at scale, deepfake impersonation, automated vulnerability discovery). For most organisations, the biggest risk is...

Executive Summary Artificial Intelligence is accelerating productivity, decisioning, and customer experience—but in 2026, adverse outcomes of AI technologies have become a material risk for organisations of all sizes. The threat is not “AI” itself. It is how AI is adopted, governed, trained, deployed, secured, and monitored. Adverse outcomes show up in predictable ways: biased decisions,...
