💡The strength of our region is ultimately reflected in the strength of its institutions. At the Barbados Chief Audit Executives Forum, hosted by the Caribbean Development Bank's Internal Audit Division, senior audit professionals came together to examine emerging risks, share leading practices, and explore how stronger internal audit functions can support governance, accountability and organisational resilience. The discussions reinforced the important role of strong institutions in delivering sustainable development outcomes across the Caribbean.
