Reason for Audit Delays #6: Fixed Assets Are a Mess—How to Clean Up FARs, Additions, Disposals, and Depreciation Before Fieldwork

Fixed assets are rarely the loudest topic in audit planning meetings—until they become the reason the audit cannot finish. Across Jamaica and the wider Caribbean, fixed asset issues are one of the most common “quiet” causes of audit delays because they sit in a blind spot between operations and finance. Assets are purchased, moved, improved,...

From Island Farms to Global Markets – Building Inclusive Value Chains with the Dawgen C-AGRI™ Framework

Across the Caribbean, agriculture is full of paradoxes. Smallholder farmers, fishers, and rural entrepreneurs work hard every day, yet: Supermarket shelves are filled with imported food.

The Power of Evidence: Strengthening Audit Opinions through Documentation

The Audit Committee Charter: A Blueprint for Effective Risk Oversight

Every effective Audit Committee begins with a strong foundation — and that foundation is its charter. The Audit Committee Charter is more than a procedural document; it is a blueprint for governance and risk oversight. It defines responsibilities, sets expectations, and provides clarity to management, auditors, and the board. In today’s dynamic risk environment, a...

From Compliance to Strategy: Expanding the Audit Committee’s Role in Risk Governance

For decades, Audit Committees were perceived primarily as compliance gatekeepers — ensuring that financial statements were accurate, external audits were properly executed, and regulatory filings met statutory requirements. While this role remains essential, the business landscape has evolved. Organizations today face a multiplicity of risks that are interconnected, complex, and fast-moving. To remain effective, Audit...

Audit Committees and Risk Oversight: Setting the Tone at the Top

At the heart of this governance structure lies the Audit Committee, a body entrusted with ensuring financial integrity, regulatory compliance, and robust risk oversight. But...

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

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.

ISA 570 (Revised): Going Concern places responsibility...
