Accountability or Excuses?

Accountability or Excuses? Fixing Government Processes in the BVI — Part 1 What happens when government processes fail, and nobody seems to know who is responsible? In Part 1 of this BVI Buzz conversation, Gary Rhymer takes a closer look at government accountability, financial controls, and the processes that are supposed to protect public resources and deliver effective services. Drawing from more than 20 years of experience working in IT across both the private and public sectors, Gary explores why strong organizations rely on clear ownership, defined workflows, approval hierarchies, electronic controls, audit trails, and measurable accountability. The conversation isn't about attacking individuals. It's about asking a bigger question: Are we dealing with a people problem or a process problem? What system allowed this to happen and what needs to change to prevent it from happening again? Because accountability shouldn't begin after something goes wrong. It should be built into the process from the beginning. 🎙️ This is Part 1 of the conversation. Listen. Think. Share. Join the conversation. BVI Buzz — Bringing the BVI conversation forward.
