RSM Cayman Islands has expanded its Corporate Advisory Services practice to the British Virgin Islands. The new firm, RSM (British Virgin Islands) Limited will be led by Christopher Stride, a partner of RSM Cayman Islands. Mr. Stride was instrumental in establishing RSM Cayman Islands in 2002 and will continue to play an ongoing role in the Cayman Islands practice. In recent years, the British Virgin Islands have taken steps to formalize the insolvency process. In August of 2004 the British Virgin Islands enacted the Insolvency Act 2003 which provided a regime for dealing with insolvent companies and the supervision of insolvency practitioners. The impact of the legislation has lead to many major law firms and accounting firms setting up a presence in BVI over the past three years. Given the similarity of the legal framework, and the large number of corporate vehicles domiciled in the BVI, the jurisdiction was deemed as favourable to expand the services that are currently offered in the Cayman Islands.

The current weather pattern is having a negative effect on the preparation of Guyana's Under19 rugby team, currently preparing for the North America West Indies Rugby Union's (NAWIRU) Internat-ional Rugby Board World Cup Qualifying tournament which Guyana will host from July 8 to 15. According to Guyana Ruby Football Union (GRFU) president Noel Adonis, the rainy season has left the National Park ground water logged and if it persists the NAWIRU tournament might have to be played at the Guyana Defence Force ground, Camp Ayanganna. This, he said, would mean that the GRFU would have to find additional funding to erect goal posts and scoreboard. Adonis who was at the time addressing members of the media at Olympic House said the union had budgeted $1.3M to host the championship and now with the preparation of the Camp Ayanganna ground, an additional $250,000 or more would be needed.
