Lundi 31 octobre, de 17 h 15 à 19 h, à l’Hôtel de la Batelière, l’Ordre des experts-comptables de la Martinique organise une conférence gratuite sur le thème : « Facture électronique : quels enjeux, quelles obligations et implications pour les PME-TPE ? »

Au programme, des éclaircissements sur la notion de facture électronique et sur ses avantages pour les entreprises, des conseils sur le choix des types de factures électroniques à privilégier ainsi que des recommandations sur les solutions à la disposition des entreprises. En bonus : le rôle clé de l’expert-comptable dans l’accompagnement des entreprises pour mettre en place cette réforme.

Facture électronique, facture dématérialisée… comment s’y retrouver ?

Est considérée comme une facture électronique, toute facture émise, transmise et reçue grâce à un format électronique qui permet son traitement automatique et électronique.

A contrario, une facture imprimée puis numérisée au moment de son émission, même si elle est envoyée et réceptionnée par messagerie électronique, reste une facture dématérialisée et non une facture électronique.

Facture électronique : quels avantages ?

La facture électronique représente des avantages non négligeables pour les entreprises, en termes de gain de productivité, de réduction des coûts, de sérénité comptable, d’amélioration des délais de paiement, d’optimisation du travail des services comptables et d’accélération de la transformation numérique, tout en réduisant l’impact écologique de la facture papier.

La facture électronique, une obligation dès 2024

Comme prévu par la loi de finances pour 2020, la facture électronique devient obligatoire pour toutes les entreprises établies en France. Les dispositions de cette généralisation au secteur privé sont prévues par l’ordonnance du 15 décembre 2021, avec un déploiement progressif entre 2024 et 2026.

Ainsi, dès 2024, toutes les entreprises assujetties à la TVA seront soumises à l’obligation de réception des factures électroniques. Pour ce qui est de l’obligation d’émission de ces factures, le calendrier sera adapté à la taille de l’entreprise : dès 2024 pour les grandes entreprises, 2025 pour les ETI et 2026 pour les PME et TPE.

Une nouvelle réforme qui se fixe pour objectif de renforcer la compétitivité des entreprises françaises.

Envie de creuser le sujet ? Besoin d’en savoir plus pour mieux préparer son entreprise à cette nouvelle obligation ? Rendez-vous le lundi 31 octobre, à 17 h 15, à l’Hôtel de la Batelière.

Bonne nouvelle : la collégienne de 14 ans recherchée depuis le 19 octobre a été retrouvée ce matin (mercredi 26 octobre), dans le bourg de Sainte-Marie.

Anita, une collégienne de 14 ans, était portée disparue depuis le 19 octobre dernier. Ce jour-là, elle avait quitté le domicile familial à 7 h pour se rendre en bus au collège Saldès. Elle n’avait plus donné de nouvelles depuis lors. 

En début de semaine, les gendarmes avaient lancé un appel à témoins pour la retrouver. Selon nos éléments, l’adolescente a finalement été retrouvée ce mercredi matin (26 octobre), dans le bourg de Sainte-Marie. Elle est saine et sauve. 

L’avis de recherches n’a donc plus lieu d’être. Comme c’est toujours le cas dans ce type de procédure, les enquêteurs vont procéder à son audition, ainsi que ses parents, pour comprendre dans quelles conditions la jeune collégienne a été hébergée et pourquoi elle avait disparu de la sorte.

Adidas ends partnership with Ye over antisemitic remarks Loop Cayman Islands

Black Immigrant Daily News

Adidas has ended its partnership with the rapper formerly known as Kanye West over his offensive and anti-semitic remarks, the latest company to cut ties with Ye and a decision that the German sportwear company said would hit its bottom line.

“Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech,” the company said in a statement Tuesday. “Ye’s recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful and dangerous, and they violate the company’s values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness.”

The company faced pressure to cut ties with Ye, with celebrities and others on social media urging Adidas to act. It said at the beginning of the month that it was placing its lucrative sneaker deal with the rapper under review.

Adidas said Tuesday that it conducted a “thorough review” and would immediately stop production of its line of Yeezy products and stop payments to Ye and his companies. The sportswear company said it was expected to take a hit of up to 250 million euros ($246 million) to its net income this year from the move.

The move by Adidas, whose CEO Kasper Rorsted is stepping down next year, comes after Ye was suspended from Twitter and Instagram this month over antisemitic posts that the social networks said violated their policies.

He recently suggested slavery was a choice and called the COVID-19 vaccine the “mark of the beast,” among other comments. He also was criticised for wearing a “White Lives Matter” T-shirt to his Yeezy collection show in Paris.

Ye’s talent agency, CAA, has dropped him, and the MRC studio announced Monday that it is shelving a complete documentary about the rapper.

The Balenciaga fashion house cut ties with Ye last week, according to Women’s Wear Daily. JPMorganChase and Ye have ended their business relationship, although the banking breakup was in the works even before Ye’s antisemitic comments.

In recent weeks, Ye also has ended his company’s association with Gap and has told Bloomberg that he plans to cut ties with his corporate suppliers.

After he was suspended from Twitter and Facebook, Ye offered to buy the conservative social network, Parler.

Demonstrators on a Los Angeles overpass Saturday unfurled a banner praising Ye’s antisemitic comments, prompting an outcry on social media from celebrities and others who said they stand with Jewish people.

Judge rules for California baker over same-sex wedding cake Loop Cayman Islands

Black Immigrant Daily News

A California judge has ruled in favour of a bakery owner who refused to make wedding cakes for a same-sex couple because it violated her Christian beliefs.

The state Department of Fair Housing and Employment had sued Tastries Bakery in Bakersfield, arguing owner Cathy Miller intentionally discriminated against the couple in violation of California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act.

Miller’s attorneys argued her right to free speech and free expression of religion trumped the argument that she violated the anti-discrimination law. Kern County Superior Court Judge Eric Bradshaw ruled Friday that Miller acted lawfully while upholding her beliefs about what the Bible teaches regarding marriage.

The decision was welcomed as a First Amendment victory by Miller and her pro-bono attorneys with the conservative Thomas More Society.

“I’m hoping that in our community we can grow together,” Miller told the Bakersfield Californian after the ruling. “And we should understand that we shouldn’t push any agenda against anyone else.”

A spokesperson said the fair housing department was aware of the ruling but had not determined what to do next. The couple, Eileen and Mireya Rodriguez-Del Rio, said they expect an appeal.

“Of course we’re disappointed, but not surprised,” Eileen told the newspaper. “We anticipate that our appeal will have a different result.”

An earlier decision in Kern County Superior Court also went Miller’s way, but it was later vacated by the 5th District Court of Appeal, which sent the lawsuit back to the county.

The decision comes as a Colorado baker is challenging a ruling he violated that state’s anti-discrimination law by refusing to make a cake celebrating a gender transition. That baker, Jack Phillips, separately won a partial US Supreme Court victory after refusing on religious grounds to make a gay couple’s wedding cake a decade ago.

$163m contract signed to rehab section of major roadway in St James Loop Jamaica

A contract valued at $163.5 million was signed on Monday morning for the rehabilitation of 1.8 kilometres of road from Friendship to Hurlock in St James under Phase Three of the comprehensive roadworks being undertaken on 19-kilometres of road from Fairfield to Point in the parish.

Ironically, hours before the contract signing, motorists blocked between Friendship and John’s Hall in the parish to protest the deplorable road conditions, and demanded the expedition of rehabilitation.

Scenes from the roadblocks are carried in a video below.

The residents, who used down trees and any other debris they could find to block the roadway, said they were fed up with the deteriorated conditions of the roadway.

Several commuters, including students, were forced to walk, as motor vehicular traffic was impossible.

Speaking at Monday morning’s signing ceremony at Jamaica House, Prime Minister Andrew Holness said the proposal was for the entire stretch from Fairfield to Point to be rehabilitated in three phases, as it would prove too costly to undertake the entire project all at once.

“If we did it at once, it would cost probably about $1.5 billion just to do a 19 kilometre road. So that means several other communities in Jamaica would not be attended to, so we had to do it in small pieces,” the prime minister stated.

To date, two phases have been completed along the Fairfield to Point corridor.

Under Phase One, 1.6 kilometres of roadway was rehabilitated between Fairfield and Retirement, and from the Fairfield Bridge to Taylor Avenue at a cost of $74 million.

Phase Two saw another 2.3 kilometres of the roadway being rehabilitated starting at Taylor Avenue to Friendship at a cost of $114 million.

Phase Three is being funded by the Tourism Enhancement Fund (TEF) and the Ministry of Economic Growth and Job Creation (MEGJC) through the Maintenance of Secondary Roads Programme.

Minister without Portfolio in the Ministry of Economic Growth and Job Creation, Everald Warmington, said the rehabilitation of the road is critical, as it is in a deplorable condition and is heavily used, as it is one of the gateways to upper St James and links the parish of St Elizabeth.

“It connects the rural section of Southern St James such as Maroon Town, and Garland, Eddersle, Maggoty and Balaclava in St Elizabeth with the city of Montego Bay. Along this controlled section are several residential communities, commercial entities and tourism… , such as Estuary Housing Scheme, Johns Hall Adventure Tours, Hall Aggregates, Crighton Quarry and the Retirement landfill,” said Warmington.

The design for Phase Three comprises more than 50 millimetres of sub-base, 150 millimetres of base course, and 75 millimetres of asphaltic concrete overlay is to be added.

“This design is necessary based on the high traffic volume, especially with the heavy-duty vehicles associated with the quarries, landfill and all the commercial activities in that locale. Additionally, the impact of these large units on the pavement, as they often exceed the limit of their axle loads, necessitates this design”, added Warmington.

Letter: President Ali has taken Guyana to new heights

President Dr. Irfaan Ali at the launch of the national census

Dear Editor,

Since taking office in August 2020, President Ali and his administration have taken Guyana to new heights never reached before with his numerous visits to the ten regions and to almost every village and district in the country to meet with the people. In all his visits, he has not only outlined his development strategies for the country, but he has taken the time to meet with the residents and address their problems, which have lifted the spirits of the citizens. Many felt that President Ali is genuine when he said that everyone has a meaningful and vital role to play in the development of the country and that no one will be left behind, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion or party affiliation. He has told the nation that the time has come for us not to see one another as Indo-Guyanese, Afro-Guyanese or Amerindian but as Guyanese with one destiny and a country to build.

His recent announcement alongside the British High Commissioner to Guyana that Guyanese will no longer need a visa to travel to Britain speaks volumes in that it settled a long-standing issue between Guyana and Britain. It is my understanding that it was President Ali who initiated the negotiation with the British Government. It was the belief that as a former British colony, Guyanese should be allowed to travel to London without visas. This has been the case of Canada, New Zealand and Australia—all former colonies of Great Britain whose citizens were not required to obtain visas to travel to London. Guyana has joined the other CARICOM states of Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Bahamas and Grenada whose residents do not require visas to travel to Britain.

With oil revenue at over one billion dollars, President Ali has publicly stated that the money will be used wisely and prudently to benefit all Guyanese by modernizing the infrastructure, invest in education, health care, security, the judiciary and social services, among others.

In addition, President Ali should be given credit for his vision to establish the 1000-men programme which will bring together men from across the country to address the challenges faced by them, especially youths who make up more than 60 percent of the country’s population. Headed by the President, the 1000-men programme will encourage adults and youths to turn away from crimes and violence and become responsible, good, decent and productive citizens and take their rightful place in society.

The 1000-men program will address domestic violence, hunger and poverty, education or the lack thereof and the indulgence and sale of illegal drugs. It is a positive approach to help men and youths accept their responsibility and become leaders in society. Many are of the opinion that the 1000-men programme initiated by President Ali fits well with his “one Guyana” initiative which is aimed at healing the racial divide, unite the races and for us as Guyanese to become “our brothers’ and sisters’ keeper. The phrase is a reference to the Biblical story of Cain and Abel from the book of Genesis. It is generally understood to mean being responsible for the welfare of a brother or other sibling or, by extension, for other human beings in general.

The President has said many times that while each of us is responsible for our own actions we are also responsible for the well-being of our neighbors. He enunciated that too frequently we focus on ourselves while forgetting that God has created us to live together and that our own well-being is bound forever to the well-being of everyone. He knows that while everyone needs proper education, secure housing, adequate nutrition, and reliable healthcare, they are not luxuries. They are what is due to those who have worked hard and to those who cannot care for themselves. President Ali “One Guyana” initiative is a bold plan that will inspire everyone to live in peace and harmony, support each other and be involved in the development and prosperity of the country.

Sincerely,Dr Asquith Rose

Poutine supervise l’entraînement de ses forces de dissuasion nucléaire

Le président russe Vladimir Poutine a supervisé mercredi l’entraînement de ses forces de dissuasion nucléaires au moment où Moscou a répété à l’Inde et à la Chine ses allégations sur la préparation par l’Ukraine d’une “bombe sale”.

Kiev, qui dément toute velléité d’utiliser une telle arme, et ses alliés occidentaux redoutent que de telles accusations ne servent de prétexte à Moscou pour une escalade du conflit ou à l’usage d’armes nucléaires par la Russie, dont les responsables ont menacé à plusieurs reprises de le faire en cas de menace importante.

Vladimir Poutine a assisté mercredi depuis une salle de contrôle à cet entraînement des forces russes de dissuasion stratégique, soit des troupes chargées notamment de répondre à la menace en cas de guerre nucléaire. Si ce type d’exercice est mené périodiquement, celui-ci intervient en pleine offensive russe en Ukraine.

“Sous la direction du commandant suprême des forces armées, Vladimir Poutine, les forces de dissuasion stratégique terrestres, maritimes et aériennes ont mené un entraînement et des lancements pratiques de missiles balistiques et de croisière ont été effectués”, a indiqué le Kremlin.

La télévision russe a montré l’équipage d’un sous-marin préparer le lancement d’un missile depuis la mer de Barents dans l’Arctique. L’exercice a aussi impliqué des avions à long rayon d’action Tu-95.

“Les tâches fixées lors de l’exercice d’entraînement à la dissuasion stratégique ont été accomplies dans leur intégralité, tous les missiles ayant atteint leur cible”, a poursuivi le Kremlin.

“Menace existante”

Peu avant ces manoeuvres, la Russie a réitéré auprès de la Chine et de l’Inde ses accusations selon lesquelles l’Ukraine se préparerait à utiliser une “bombe sale”, une arme constituée d’explosifs conventionnels entourés de matériaux radioactifs destinés à être disséminés lors de l’explosion.

Lors d’une conversation avec le ministre chinois de la Défense Wei Fenghe, son homologue russe Sergueï Choïgou a fait part de ses “préoccupations liées à d’éventuelles provocations de la part de l’Ukraine avec recours à une +bombe sale+”.

La Russie avait avancé pour la première fois ces accusations dimanche lors de conversations téléphoniques entre Sergueï Choïgou et ses homologues américain, français, britannique et turc.

M. Choïgou a soulevé les mêmes “inquiétudes” lors d’un appel avec son homologue indien Rajnath Singh.

L’Ukraine et les Occidentaux ont dénoncé des allégations “absurdes” et “dangereuses” et suggéré que la Russie se préparait elle-même à une escalade sur le champ de bataille, où ses troupes ont connu une série de défaites depuis septembre.

Le porte-parole du Kremlin, Dmitri Peskov, a assuré mercredi que la Russie disposait d’informations sur une “menace existante” de l’utilisation par l’Ukraine d’une “bombe sale” et que Kiev “se prépare à un tel acte terroriste de sabotage”. 

“Nous continuerons à faire valoir vigoureusement notre point de vue auprès de la communauté internationale afin de l’encourager à prendre des mesures actives pour empêcher un tel comportement irresponsable”, a ajouté M. Peskov.

Les responsables russes ont menacé à plusieurs reprises d’utiliser l’arme nucléaire pour défendre les territoires dont Moscou a revendiqué l’annexion en Ukraine, y compris à Kherson, dans le sud, où est attendue la prochaine bataille.

70.000 évacués

Les autorités d’occupation russe de Kherson ont annoncé mercredi avoir évacué 70.000 civils en une semaine de cette ville transformée en forteresse pour faire face à l’assaut ukrainien à venir.

Ailleurs sur le front, au moins sept personnes ont été tuées et 13 blessées ces dernières 24 heures, selon le décompte de la présidence ukrainienne.

La Russie a multiplié ces dernières semaines les frappes sur les infrastructures électriques ukrainiennes, provoquant des coupures de courant dans de nombreuses villes, y compris à Kiev.

L’opérateur Ukrenergo a ainsi poursuivi pour le deuxième jour consécutif les restrictions en électricité pour les entreprises et particuliers.

Kiev a également annoncé mercredi un nouvel échange de prisonniers avec Moscou concernant 10 soldats ukrainiens. La Russie a aussi rendu le corps du volontaire américain Joshua Alan Jones, tué en août au combat.

Mike Birch, premier vainqueur de la Route du Rhum est décédé à l’âge de 90 ans

Le canadien Mike Birch, premier vainqueur de la Route du Rhum en 1978 s’est éteint dans la nuit de mardi à mercredi, à l’âge de 90 ans

Mike Birch a tiré son dernier bord dans la nuit de mardi à mercredi et c’est toute la Route du Rhum – Destination Guadeloupe qui est en deuil. 

 Une minute de silence sera respectée sur le village de la course en son hommage à 17h, au moment de l’inauguration. La photo du marin sera projetée sur les remparts de Saint-Malo, ce soir et jusqu’au départ des skippers dimanche 6 novembre. 

Un personnage à la Jack London

Avant la course au large, Mike Birch avait convoyé des bateaux, apprenant un métier de marin qui était loin d’être sa première vocation. Né à Vancouver, il fût tour à tour mineur, ouvrier dans le pétrole, cow-boy, avant de poser un autre regard sur l’horizon. « Un personnage de roman » résumait ce matin Thomas Coville qui avait tiré des bords avec lui sur le trimaran ORMA Fujicolor dans les années 1990. 

C’est pourtant à 44 ans que Mike Birch s’aligne au départ de sa première transat, la redoutable édition 1976 de l’OSTAR entre Plymouth et Newport. Il enchaînera sur sa victoire dans la Route du Rhum 1978 et construira ensuite plusieurs multicoques sur plans Nigel Irens.

Le petit 50 pieds Vital d’abord puis Formule Tag, grand catamaran de 26 mètres qui lui offrit la victoire dans Monaco New-York en 1985. Vinrent ensuite les années ORMA, ces trimarans de 18,28 m sur lesquels Mike s’est adjugé par deux fois la troisième place sur la Route du Rhum – Destination Guadeloupe.

La reine des transats était bel et bien indissociable de la vie du marin, lui qui s’aligna sept fois au départ. « Le décès de Mike Birch est un évènement qui nous marque, au sein de l’organisation de la Route du Rhum – Destination Guadeloupe disait ce matin Joseph Bizard, Directeur Général d’OC Sport Pen Duick.

New CMO pushing for evidence-based public health Loop Cayman Islands

/0 Comments/in /by

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Cayman Compass

The new Chief Medical Officer for the Cayman Islands, Dr Nick Gent, has hit the ground running after taking officer on 10 October. He has been kept busy with introductions, meetings, presentations and several media appearances.

Dr Gent’s appointment coincided with the rollout of the Moderna (bivalent) COVID-19 fall booster campaign, so within days of his arrival, the CMO was making his rounds on talk shows to share his knowledge, answer questions, and encourage Cayman’s most vulnerable to take the booster.

As Cayman transitions to living safely and responsibly with COVID-19, the new CMO’s vision is rooted in ensuring that the lessons of the pandemic are not forgotten.

“My main duty as the Chief Medical Officer is to help the Ministry of Health and Wellness and Cabinet to develop good, evidence-based public health policy that will withstand the next 10 to 20 years,” Dr Gent stated, noting that while his contract is for three years his aim is to lay a foundation that will last beyond his tenure.

Strengthening public health nationally is a priority for the Ministry of Health and Wellness, and Dr Gent sees this goal being achieved through several key actions: strengthening local epidemiology services, acquiring data to determine the actual state of health of the population and setting up systems to ensure continuous monitoring of that information, introducing data-driven interventions and programming to help improve the lives and wellness of Caymanians and residents, and “getting the core of public health right”.

“When we talk about the core of public health, we are talking about high immunisation rates, good screening rates, healthy lifestyle and good clinical care access. We need to take stock of where we are and make sure that the basics are right,” Dr Gent added.

Sabrina Turner, Minister for Health and Wellness, who introduced Dr Gent to Cabinet on 18 October, expressed her enthusiasm about having the new CMO join her Ministry.

“Having Dr Gent on the team is an exciting milestone for us at the Ministry of Health and Wellness as we continue to reach our strategic broad outcomes and the big project of improving and strengthening public health nationally,” Turner said.
