February 26, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The global auditing services market reached US$277 billion in 2024 and is forecast to grow to US$430 billion by 2032, driven by technology adoption, regulatory complexity, and the demand for real-time assurance.

Mergers, Acquisitions, and Strategic Alliances: Building Scale in Small-Market Economies | Dawgen Global

February 26, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

  EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Global M&A deal volume reached approximately US$2.3 trillion in 2025, up 49 percent from 2024, with megadeals reemerging at the highest pace in a decade. The Caribbean, while operating at a different scale, faces the same strategic imperative: enterprises constrained by small, fragmented markets must consolidate, partner, or be left behind. Regional...

Climate-Proofing Your Balance Sheet : Financial Resilience in the Age of Category 5 Storms

February 26, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Hurricane Beryl in 2024 was the earliest Category 5 hurricane on record. Hurricane Melissa in November 2025 caused an estimated US$8.8 billion in damage to Jamaica alone—equivalent to 41 percent of GDP. Climate damages in the Caribbean are projected to increase from 5 percent of regional GDP to over 20 percent by 2100....

AI for the Caribbean Enterprise: A Practical Adoption Roadmap Beyond the Hype

February 26, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Artificial intelligence has moved from boardroom buzzword to operational imperative. Globally, enterprise AI adoption has reached 72 percent, worker access to sanctioned AI tools grew by 50 percent in 2025, and two-thirds of organisations report measurable productivity gains. Yet the Caribbean remains largely on the sidelines—no CARICOM member state has published a national...

From Compliance Burden to Competitive Edge: Navigating Caribbean Regulatory Modernisation | Dawgen Global

February 26, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Caribbean enterprises face an unprecedented wave of regulatory change—from new data protection acts and tightened AML/CFT frameworks to cross-border reporting standards and regional harmonisation mandates. For most boards, the instinct is to treat each new requirement as an isolated cost centre. This article argues that forward-thinking leaders should reframe regulatory modernisation as a...

ESG Without the Greenwash: A Practical Framework for Caribbean Sustainability Reporting

February 26, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

The Sustainability Paradox The Caribbean exists at the centre of one of the defining paradoxes of modern business. The region is among the most climate-vulnerable on Earth – small island developing states where a single Category 5 hurricane can erase a decade of GDP growth, where sea-level rise threatens entire coastlines, where coral bleaching devastates...

Cybersecurity Is a Boardroom Issue: Building Cyber Resilience in the Caribbean’s Most Targeted Region

February 26, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

The Attack That Changed Everything In July 2025, ransomware attackers struck Curaçao’s Tax and Customs Administration, crippling vehicle tax processing, telephone support, and customer-service operations for nearly two weeks. In the same wave of attacks, government systems in Aruba and Sint Maarten were compromised, disrupting parliamentary communications and justice-system operations across the Dutch Caribbean. Recovery...

The Digital CFO: How Caribbean Finance Leaders Are Replacing Spreadsheets with Strategic Intelligence

February 26, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

The Spreadsheet Trap There is a scene that plays out every month in finance departments across the Caribbean. The CFO needs a consolidated cash-flow forecast. The finance manager opens a spreadsheet that was built three years ago by someone who has since left the company. The spreadsheet pulls data from another spreadsheet, which pulls data...

Surviving the Tariff Storm : Strategic Repositioning for Caribbean Enterprises in a Protectionist World

February 26, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

The Day the Rules Changed On April 2, 2025, the rules of Caribbean trade changed overnight. President Trump’s “Liberation Day” executive order imposed a blanket 10 per cent reciprocal tariff on goods imports from virtually every country in the world, including every CARICOM member state. For Guyana, the rate was set at 38 per cent....

The Borderless Advantage: Why Caribbean Organisations No Longer Need to Choose Between Global Expertise and Local Understanding.

February 26, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

The Choice That Should Not Exist For decades, Caribbean organisations have faced a false dilemma. When confronting their most consequential strategic challenges – a complex restructuring, a digital transformation, a governance overhaul, a regulatory compliance crisis – they have been forced to choose between two deeply imperfect options. Option A: Engage a global advisory firm....
