RESILIENCE CODE™: Building Businesses That Survive and Thrive Through Caribbean Crises — The Complete Framework

April 13, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

The Caribbean is the most disaster-exposed region on earth per capita.

MARKETPULSE™: Finding, Winning, and Keeping Customers in the Caribbean — A Market Intelligence Framework for SMEs

April 13, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

LEADRIGHT™: Closing the Caribbean Leadership Gap — The Executive Coaching Framework for Founders and Teams

April 13, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Leadership is the variable that explains more of the difference between thriving Caribbean businesses and struggling ones than any other single factor.

SCALEPATH™ :The Structured Blueprint for Breaking Through Caribbean Business Growth Ceilings

April 13, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

There is a ceiling that most Caribbean businesses hit between the third and seventh year of operation. Revenue stabilises. The team grows, but productivity does not scale proportionally.

AI in Financial Services: Governance Imperatives for Caribbean Banks, Insurers, and Credit Unions

April 10, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

The Financial Services AI Landscape No sector in the Caribbean is deploying AI more aggressively or governing it less rigorously than financial services. Banks are using AI for credit scoring, fraud detection, customer onboarding, and portfolio management. Insurers are applying machine learning to underwriting, claims processing, and customer segmentation. Credit unions are implementing AI-powered loan...

Auditing the Algorithm: What AI Assurance Looks Like in Practice

April 9, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Beyond Traditional IT Audit Many Caribbean internal audit functions have responded to the AI governance imperative by extending their existing IT audit methodology to cover AI systems. While this is a reasonable starting point, it is insufficient. AI systems present audit challenges that traditional IT audit is not designed to address: statistical model behaviour, training...

Tax Disputes and Objections: How to Challenge a TAJ Assessment and Navigate the Appeals Process

April 6, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

When TAJ and the Taxpayer Disagree Receiving a tax assessment from Tax Administration Jamaica is one of the most consequential financial events a Caribbean business or individual can face. The assessment sets out TAJ’s determination of the tax liability for a particular period — a determination that may include additional tax, interest, and penalties that,...

CRS and FATCA Compliance: What Caribbean Financial Institutions and Account Holders Must Know

April 6, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

The End of Financial Privacy as a Tax Planning Tool For decades, offshore financial accounts served a dual purpose for many Caribbean and international investors: a store of wealth beyond the reach of domestic tax authorities, and a mechanism for sheltering investment returns from the income tax obligations that would apply if those returns were...
