Governing AI Risk Across Jurisdictions, Data Transfers, and Compliance Obligations in the Caribbean How Caribbean organisations can stay compliant, audit-ready, and resilient when AI crosses borders Executive summary Caribbean organisations increasingly operate across borders by default—serving customers in multiple jurisdictions, using cloud platforms hosted overseas, paying vendors internationally, and engaging with multinational partners who demand...
How CFOs, Controllers, and Audit Committees can govern AI with “Evidence by Design” Executive summary AI is increasingly embedded in the finance function across the Caribbean.

As a result, transition plans and forward-looking claims have moved to the centre of ESG reporting. At...
Sustainability assurance is often introduced as a credibility enhancer—an independent signal that an organisation’s ESG disclosures can be relied on for decision-making. In practice, however, assurance is also a stress test. It tests whether sustainability information is supported by robust criteria, disciplined methodologies, and sufficient appropriate evidence.
