The early decades of the nineteenth century saw the establishment of banks in the Caribbean largely as a convenience for the local governments. Throughout much of the nineteenth century, most Caribbean banks operated as an oligopoly with limited government influence – this directly translated into higher profits. However, over time, the banking environment could best be described as complex and dynamic. Competition increased, resulting into greater need for improved customer service, product innovation and cost reduction strategies. In order to achieve this, the banking sector was undergoing major structural reforms characterized by mergers and acquisitions. On July 23, 2001 Barclays and CIBC announced that they were in advanced discussions which were intended to lead to the combination of their retail, corporate and offshore banking operations in the Caribbean.
In the late 1800s' economy there were many Americans who considered themselves to be business affiliated, but really didn't understand the full meaning of a business or knowing any financial obligations within a business. However, there was one peculiar man John Pierpont Morgan also know as J.P. Morgan who stood out to be a triumphant entrepreneur of many Americans in the late 1800s U.S. Economy.
John Pierpont Morgan is considered one of the founding fathers of the modern United States economy. He was an industrial genius that is accredited with the founding of many companies including General Electric and AT&T. However, Pierpont is looked upon as a saint and demon the same. He received a honorary degree from Harvard university that read: "Public citizen, patron of literature and art, prince among merchants, who by his skill, wisdom and courage, has twice in times of stress repelled a national danger of financial panic." But Robert LaFollette, the Wisconsin progressive, saw him as "a beefy, red-faced thick-necked financial bully, drunk with wealth and power." Despite conflicting opinion on his persona, his influence and character shaped the business world more so than any other person at the turn of the century. Morgan was a banker, railroad czar, industrialist, financier, philanthropist, yachtsman, and ladies' man. He was king to a handful of millionaire barons who controlled the country's wealth in an era of little government regulation.

Although many think of the firm as American, its origins can be traced to the United Kingdom. Price Waterhouse’s beginning started in 1849 when Samuel Lowell Price opened his accounting practice in London. In 1865, Price joined forces with fellow Brits, Holyland and Waterhouse. They renamed the firm Price Waterhouse & Co. Similarly, Coopers& Lybrand started in the United Kingdom, when William Cooper opened his firm in 1854; it was later known as Cooper Brothers. In 1957, three firms, Cooper Brothers (U.K.), McDonald, Currie, & Co. (Canada), and Lybrand, Ross Brothers, & Montgomery (U.S.) merged to form Coopers & Lybrand. Price Waterhouse and Coopers & Lybrand were both extremely successful from the 1960s through the 1980s, adding to their menu of services and expanding internationally.

Thus, Pricewaterhouse...
