Bridgetown, Barbados – AW Global Consultancy Services Inc., a newly launched consultancy, is setting a higher standard in compliance and risk management solutions, offering bespoke services designed to strengthen corporate governance and ease the complexities of global market operations. Under the leadership of Alison Weekes, a seasoned finance executive and compliance expert with over two decades of experience, the firm delivers comprehensive audits, anti-bribery and anti-corruption (ABAC) training, and customized compliance frameworks that help businesses remain ethical and competitive.
Effective compliance and risk management have become critical to maintaining economic stability, protecting reputations, and fostering investor confidence. High-profile enforcement actions in recent years demonstrate the severe consequences of regulatory failures. In one notable 2023 case, a major international construction company was fined over $500 million for extensive bribery violations across multiple jurisdictions, attributed to inadequate compliance programs and weak internal controls.
AW Global Consultancy Services’ offerings are tailored to address these vulnerabilities:
Compliance Audits: Detailed reviews of internal policies and processes to identify gaps and ensure adherence to regulatory frameworks.
Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption (ABAC) Training: Practical, industry-specific training sessions designed to empower employees with the tools to recognize and prevent bribery and corruption. This training integrates anti-money laundering (AML) principles and legislative guidelines applicable to Barbados, the UK, and the US.
Customized Compliance Frameworks: Development of structured compliance systems that align with global best practices and local regulations, reducing the risk of sanctions and enhancing business integrity.
Weekes’ extensive experience in global finance, risk management, and regulatory compliance uniquely positions her to guide companies in mitigating risk and fostering a culture of ethical behaviour. Her proven expertise in building compliance cultures and aligning organizational strategies with international standards has consistently helped businesses navigate complex legal landscapes while maintaining operational efficiency.
“The cost of non-compliance can be catastrophic,” Weekes stated. “Our services provide actionable solutions that strengthen corporate integrity, improve operational transparency, and reduce regulatory exposure. Businesses that invest in robust compliance frameworks not only mitigate risk but also create a more sustainable and attractive business environment for growth.”
As globalization continues to blur market boundaries, the demand for comprehensive compliance and risk management solutions grows. AW Global Consultancy Services Inc. is committed to delivering strategic, practical, and forward-thinking advice that empowers businesses to act as responsible market participants.
