JBG brings in IBM, sets November deadline for governance overhaul

Jamaica Broilers Group (JBG) has engaged IBM to strengthen the controls in its financial reporting systems, and an independent firm will begin an internal audit of its US operations by October 31. JBG is also developing a group-wide whistleblower policy. It reflects part of a remediation drive the poultry group disclosed days after releasing its audited statements in which the group recorded a $6.8-billion loss for its May year end.
