ISA 570 (Revised): Going Concern – Lessons from Recent Global Failures

September 5, 2025by Dr Dawkins Brown

A company’s ability to continue operating as a going concern is fundamental to financial reporting. It underpins valuations, investor decisions, regulatory trust, and strategic planning.

Materiality in Auditing: Finding the Balance Between Precision and Practicality

August 30, 2025by Dr Dawkins Brown

Why Materiality Matters Audits are not about verifying every single transaction. If they were, audits would be impossibly time-consuming, prohibitively expensive, and practically unworkable.

Risk-Based Auditing: A Smarter Approach to Assurance

August 30, 2025by Dr Dawkins Brown

From Checklists to Risk Focus Traditional audits were once perceived as box-ticking exercises, where auditors applied the same set of procedures regardless of the client’s industry, size, or risk profile.

Why Audits Matter: Building Trust in Financial Reporting

August 27, 2025by Dr Dawkins Brown

Trust as the Currency of Business In modern commerce, trust is the foundation of financial relationships. Investors, lenders, regulators, employees, and the general public rely on accurate financial information to make informed decisions.

Beyond Compliance: How Caribbean Entrepreneurs Can Use Audits to Unlock Business Growth

August 20, 2025by Dr Dawkins Brown

Shifting the Entrepreneurial Mindset on Audits For many Caribbean entrepreneurs, the term audit often conjures images of compliance burdens, regulators knocking on doors, and tedious paperwork.
