 Vendredi 8 juillet, le grand public est invité à l’Hôtel de la Batelière de 14 à 16 heures dans le cadre d’une conférence gratuite organisée par l’Ordre des experts-comptables sur le thème : RGPD, êtes-vous (vraiment) prêts ? Entretien avec Steven Prudent, expert-comptable commissaire aux comptes, élu au conseil régional de l’ordre des experts-comptables.

 Pourquoi une conférence sur la cyber sécurité ?
On ne peut parler de dématérialisation, notamment avec l’arrivée de la facture électronique, sans parler du pendant qui est la cybersécurité. Face à cette dématérialisation, qui est un virage nécessaire à passer, nous devons nous protéger correctement d’autant que le risque de cyber attaques est de plus en plus présent au sein des entreprises. C’est pourquoi nous avons décidé d’organiser une conférence pour les confrères mais aussi pour le grand public en axant sur la protection générale des données.

Peut-on réellement se protéger de ce danger ?
On peut toujours se faire attaquer, de manière personnelle ou professionnelle mais c’est la même chose que pour notre logement. On peut toujours se faire cambrioler, mais si on a des systèmes d’alarme et de sécurité adéquats, on sera davantage protégé. Il faut donc mettre en place les mesures de vigilance nécessaires. Cela passe par un certain nombre de préconisations, en commençant par un degré de vigilance des ouvertures d’adresses mail, des liens sur lesquels on doit cliquer, etc., car c’est la première porte d’entrée d’une attaque. On évite aussi de communiquer des informations sensibles par mail. Avec ces simples mesures, on peut éliminer une grande partie du risque.

Quels sont les risques d’une cyber attaque, pour les entreprises ?
Imaginons qu’un cabinet d’architectes se fasse attaquer, il perd tous les plans sur lesquels il a travaillé : tout le travail intellectuel retranscrit est perdu. Cela peut aussi concerner tout un fichier clients. Cela entraîne donc des risques très concrets avec des pertes financières. Il y a aussi le risque au niveau de la crédibilité, en termes d’image. Et puis, c’est aussi une perte de temps car l’entreprise peut être immobilisée un certain temps à cause de cette attaque. Plusieurs entreprises en France ont mis la clé sous la porte après une cyber attaque. Cela fait peur mais c’est une réalité. Il ne faut pas se dire que parce qu’on est en Martinique, on est moins touchés parce qu’une cyber attaque peut venir de n’importe où.

Que peut apporter l’expert-comptable ?
L’expert-comptable est un partenaire de confiance de l’entreprise. Nous devons sensibiliser les chefs d’entreprise et donner des préconisations avec des axes de recommandations. Nous avons une notion d’audit et d’analyse qui est déjà dans notre process de travail. Nous faisons donc une approche par les risques. Bien sûr, ensuite l’entreprise va se tourner vers son service informatique ou un informaticien externe pour mener cet audit. Et ce sont des sujets sur lesquels nous travaillons beaucoup avec la Commission nationale numérique. Nous nous réunissons une fois par trimestre à Paris et ce sujet en fait partie.

Allyson Felix gets mixed relay nod, heading to 10th worlds | Loop Jamaica

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Allyson Felix was named to her 10th world championship team, where she will have a chance to run in the mixed relay event and add to her record medal collection.

Felix, whose 18 medals are the most in world-championship history, has announced that this will be her final season in track. At last month’s U.S. championships, she finished sixth in the 400 metres and did not qualify for any individual events. But the 36-year-old was named to the mixed relay pool Tuesday when USA Track and Field released its 151-person roster for worlds.

The world championships run July 15-24 in Eugene, Oregon.

Missing from the roster was Sha’Carri Richardson, who failed to qualify for the finals of either the 100 or 200 metres at nationals. Richardson won the women’s 100 at Olympic trials last year but was banned from the games after testing positive for a substance found in marijuana.

Among those named to the women’s 4×100 relay pool was Gabby Thomas, the 200-metre champion in 2021 who has been dealing with a hamstring injury this season. Thomas finished eighth at nationals last month.

The U.S. will send nine reigning world champions and 29 medalists from Tokyo to the first world championships on American soil. Among those world champions is 100-metre titlist Christian Coleman, who was banned from the Olympics after a case involving missed doping tests.

One headline race of 10-day meet features reigning Olympic champion Sydney McLaughlin against reigning world champion Dalilah Muhammad in the 400-metre hurdles.

They have taken turns setting world records over the past three years; McLaughlin lowered it to 51.41 seconds last month at nationals. Muhammad sat out nationals with a hamstring injury. Her world title guaranteed her a spot on the U.S. team.

Future of 11-Plus exam to be decided soon | Loop Barbados

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Barbados News

The future of the Barbados Secondary School Entrance Examination (BSSEE) also known as the 11-Plus or Common Entrance Exam could soon be sealed.

Deputy Prime Minister Santia Bradshaw made the revelation while speaking to the media at the Springer Memorial Secondary School today after meeting with students at the exam centre.

“I am well aware that the paper on the reform [of the education system] has been finally completed, and is before the Prime Minister for consideration and then on to Cabinet. So, I can expect that those decisions will be made very shortly,” she disclosed.

The former Minister of Education, detailed that the Mia Mottley-led administration has made efforts to gradually reform the education system, with the introduction of robotics, and the widening of the school curriculum to include technical and vocational skills.

“We have been talking with the principals trying to get them to understand that we have to create specialist institutions. Looking at what their strengths and weaknesses are so that children and parents start to make decisions on which school to go to. Not on the basis of which grandparent or parent went to school there but they start to make decisions based on the fact that they have an interest and they have a skill in a particular area or they are an academic in a particular area. So once that process has started and it is ongoing, I believe that we will get to the point that there is greater acceptance in relation to the abolition of the Common Entrance in due course.”

She acknowledged that though the groundwork has been done, changing the mindset of Barbadians will take some time. The Deputy Prime Minister voiced that the transformation will not occur instantly.

“People feel very dear and near to the Common Entrance Examination. It is what we all have grown accustomed to and in order to make that transition, you have to change mindsets you have to improve the schools. We had to put in place the Director of Educational Reform to work with the various institutions [and] educators in order for us to make that transition so I would say it is not an overnight process,” she remarked.

She added that Education Minister Kay McConney will give the announcement on the abolition of the Common Entrance in due course.

“The pandemic really set us back in terms of our conversation with the public but that didn’t mean that behind the scenes the work was not going on to position ourselves to be able to make that transformation.

“I believe that at the appropriate time the current minister will make the announcement in relation to the final date for the Common Entrance but until then I think we just have to reform and transition education generally in Barbados,” said Bradshaw.

Sandals Regency La Toc Golf Resort and Spa continues to lead the way in environmental sustainability, having achieved yet another year of Master Certification from EarthCheck.

EarthCheck is recognized as the foremost scientific benchmarking, certification and advisory group for travel and tourism the world over.

Since 1987 it has assisted businesses, communities and governments to ensure clean, safe, successful and healthy destinations for travelers to visit, live, work and play. 

The attainment of EarthCheck Master Certification for a fourth consecutive year means the Resort would have had its systems and data independently examined and verified by a third party auditor, which then measured and benchmarked its annual environmental performance against its competitors.

As part of its ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability, Sandals Regency La Toc Golf Resort and Spa continues to effect environmental strategies that ensure efficiency in the management of operations. These strategies include but are not limited to the undertaking of energy conservation initiatives and waste water management programmes. These fall under the purview of Company’s Environment, Health and Safety Division which is responsible for operationalizing and managing sustainable programmes and ensuring that the resort is compliant with all internationally-accepted operating standards.

According to Sandals La Toc Environment Health and Safety Manager Rodesha Reid, “We are all stewards of the environment and our team recognizes the importance of this certification and how it impact our daily lives. Being EarthCheck Certified highlights the holistic approach that we at Sandals Regency La Toc have taken in an effort to minimize our impact on the environment, whether it is by implementing strategies to reduce the waste sent to the landfill, reducing energy consumption or by giving back to the community, which is our aim.” She further explains that, maintaining this certification proves that the resort understands its role in the hospitality industry and solidifies its commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. 

Sandals Resorts International remains cognizant of the importance of environmental preservation and also invests significantly in training programmes, in an effort to ensure that all team members are well-informed and knowledgeable about their role.

  Sandals Grande St. Lucian and Sandals Halcyon Beach, have also attained EarthCheck Master Certification, the highest level of certification from the benchmarking entity.

This speaks to the longstanding commitment by Sandals to environmental sustainability, with several other resorts due to achieve this level shortly.

Parents at ease and confident following 11-Plus exam | Loop Barbados

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Barbados News

Much like the tranquil atmosphere throughout the Princess Margaret Secondary School, parents of 11-Plus students were calm and confident of their children’s success.

Five St Philip schools – Bayley’s Primary, Hilda Skeene Primary, Reynold Weekes Primary, St Martin’s Mangrove Primary and St Catherine’s Primary – sat the Barbados Secondary. School Entrance Examination (BSSEE) at the Six Roads exam centre.

After parting ways with their children, some parents and guardians opted to linger outside the school’s premises or patronise neighbouring businesses until the exam was finished.

One mother told Loop News that she was not concerned about her son’s performance as his preparations leading up to the exam went well.

“It wasn’t that difficult, it was just like pushing him to really read more, do more because he would need it and I think it would all pay off, I think that he will do well today,” she explained.

She professed that although her son, who is a Bayley’s Primary School student, was challenged by the online format, his performance throughout the school year was beyond satisfactory.

“Honestly, [COVID-19] was a setback but to me, he has strived in the online setting because it required parents to be there more to see where their children are weak and try to help them in that area. That really helped me to see where he was lacking and that is how I kind of worked with him from there because it was done in a way that you could hear the teachers, you knew what they were teaching, you know the style they were teaching so it was just for you as a parent to reinforce and get the children to do their work.”

As she waited on the outskirts of the Princess Margaret Secondary School, the parent of a Reynold Weekes Primary twin, also believed that her children’s hard work will pay off.

“My twins are usually very focused, they put in the work so it was just a matter of spending the time and guiding them through the process.”

The mother contended that although the online forum was not challenging for her household, she still preferred the face-to-face teaching method.

“To be honest the online forum was not as much of a challenge for us because the children were very focused and dedicated and by they have each other, it was kind of a classroom setting anyway so they can work together side by side. So for me, I had a pretty good experience but I do prefer the face-to-face.”

She added: “Everybody is struggling at this point but in terms of the fact that they were doing home school you didn’t have to buy as many uniforms as you did so you just looked to see well I only need a shirt and pants versus having five and then the books. You could have carried on, so it wasn’t too bad in terms of expense. We drive to come up the road and the gas prices gone up but you have to make it work. So you just make slight adjustments but it is what it is.”

Popcaan ‘detained’ in the UK… Video credit: Instagram via popcaanmusic

NEWYou can now listen to Loop News articles!

Dancehall artiste Popcaan wants to know why there are red flags against his name causing him to be “detained” each time he is in the United Kingdom, and is calling on Jamaica’s Prime Minister Andrew Holness for answers.

In a post to the ‘Family’ deejay’s Instagram Stories on Tuesday, the recording artiste displayed a paper for viewers, stating that every time he is in the UK he is given the paper and “detained” “because of information that was sent by my country that I should be stopped every time I am in the UK”.

“I wanna know why,” was the simple request from the ‘Party Shot’ recording artiste who shared the Story with his nearly three million followers on Tuesday while in an airport in the UK.

He then proceeded to appeal to Holness, in an effort to again bring the issue to his attention.

In January, Popcaan was held in immigration, which his attorney Bert Samuels told a local media entity was something that happens whenever he is in the UK because of red flags against his name.

Popcaan, whose real name is Andrew Sutherland, had tweeted then: “I would like to know why someone with authority in Jamaica send information to England immigration that I’m a gang leader and I got charge with firearm, this is not cool at all from my own country, why I have to be sitting in immigration for over 3 hours??”

His attorney has dismissed the allegations as false.

On Tuesday, Popcaan posed the question again: “Why?”
