Thanks to everyone who joined us for our Directors’ Deep Dive session on Financial Resilience and Risk, run by Nexia Christchurch Partner Jono Boyce, in partnership with the Institute of Directors.

It was a valuable discussion focused on how directors and boards can strengthen resilience, navigate uncertainty, and support better decision-making in a changing environment.

Key themes included:
- Supporting proactive, informed decision-making at board level
- Expanding governance focus beyond financial reporting to include operational risks such as supply chain and technology vulnerabilities
- Embedding resilience into strategic decision-making rather than treating it as a compliance exercise

A valuable discussion on the practical steps boards can take to build resilience into everyday governance.
