Gowan Bowe (Chartered Accountant)

Bahamas Institute of Chartered Accountants President Gowan Bowe said the scrambling government did to remove the country off the EU blacklist of non-cooperative tax jurisdictions earlier this year is an indication that the country has not been appropriately keeping its finger on the pulse of matters that affect the financial services sector. https://thenassauguardian.com/2018/07/19/bica-head-wants-better-consultation-by-govt-with-financial-sector-stakeholders/
