The importance of moving toward high-quality, global standards of accounting and auditing has never been clearer. In the midst of the global financial and economic crisis, the leaders of the Group of 20 met and issued their Declaration on Strengthening the Financial System , placing significant emphasis on sound accounting and auditing standards as a critical piece of the international financial architecture. Transparent and reliable corporate financial reporting underpins much of the Latin America and Caribbean development agenda, from private-sector-led growth to enhanced financial stability, facilitating access to finance for small and medium enterprises, and furthering economic integration. For nearly 10 years, the World Bank has prepared diagnostic Reports on the Observance of Standards and Codes (ROSCs) on Accounting and Auditing (A and A) at the country level. In Latin America and the Caribbean, ROSC A and A reports have been completed for 17 countries. This book takes a step back and seeks to distill lessons from a regional perspective. 'Accounting for Growth in Latin America and the Caribbean' is the first book to examine financial reporting and auditing in the region in a systematic way, drawing on the World Bank s years of experience and analysis in this area. The book is designed to inform the policy dialogue on accounting and auditing issues among government officials, the accounting profession, the private sector, academia, and civil society in LAC countries. It also seeks to disseminate the lessons learned to key players at the international and regional level, including the donor community, in order to generate momentum for reform of accounting and auditing throughout the region.

This report is part of a review of financial regulation in the British Caribbean Overseas Territories and Bermuda commissioned by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in 1999. This report deals with Anguilla. Although the island is internally governed, the Crown appointed Governor retains responsibility for international financial services. Although its main industry is tourism Anguilla has a small but growing offshore finance sector. The island has a relatively small insurance industry and four domestic banks. The report's conclusion is that Anguilla has many of the features necessary to be considered a well-regulated jurisdiction. The report notes the willingness of the island's authorities to incorporate suggested changes in legislation. There is a need to ensure the effective implementation of any new legislation. This report responds to the Government's White Paper "Partnership for progress and prosperity: Britain and overseas territories" recognised that a significant number of overseas territories have developed successful offshore financial sectors. The White Paper also observed that these developments bring risks of abuse, and that as markets develop so do the opportunities for money laundering, fraud, tax evasion and regulatory abuse. The White Paper stated that it was essential for the future of the financial sectors of these overseas territories financial that their regulatory systems must improve and be responsive to ever tighter international standards.

Financial sector linkages have increased continuously in the Caribbean with cross border capital flows and financial conglomerates dominating the financial system. While the greater interconnectedness can heighten systemic risks and likelihood of contagion, it can have positive impacts provided the regional authorities take steps to prevent the systemic risk. In this context, financial sector reform measures aimed at bolstering and harmonizing prudential regulations in line with international best practices, the strengthening and enhancement of financial sector supervision to include cross border linkages through consolidated supervision, increased cooperation across supervisors in the region, and the establishment of deposit insurance and crisis resolution frameworks will be critical to maintain financial sector stability and minimize the repercussions of any negative shocks.
