Institute of Directors in New Zealand Inc

Welcome to the Institute of Directors in New Zealand Inc, the leading professional body for directors in New Zealand. Located in Wellington, on Customhouse Quay, our institution is a point of interest for individuals seeking to enhance their governance skills and knowledge.

At the Institute of Directors, we are dedicated to providing valuable resources and insights to our members. One of our key offerings is the Director Download, a fortnightly governance email update that keeps our members informed about the latest industry trends and developments. We also provide a comprehensive list of back issues on our webpage, ensuring that our members have access to a wealth of information.

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, directors need to stay ahead of the curve and be aware of new challenges and opportunities. Our institution recognizes the importance of monitoring emerging disruptive technologies, such as artificial intelligence, and their potential impact on businesses. We believe that risk registers should take a deep dive into these technologies to minimize potential threats and ensure the long-term sustainability of companies.

Additionally, we recently held the 2023 Not-For-Profit Chairs Forum, where Richard Westlake CFInstD outlined five key considerations for chairing a board. This forum provided valuable governance insights and highlighted the crucial role that boards play in leading an organization's purpose, goals, and strategy.

Our institution also offers valuable resources such as the Directors' Fees Report 2023/2024, which provides governance insights and guidance on director remuneration. We believe that a high-performing board adds value by acting as a cohesive team, fostering open debate, diversity, thoughtful challenge, and constructive dissent. By holding management accountable and providing informed oversight, a value-adding board ensures the implementation of the entity's purpose and strategy.

Furthermore, the Institute of Directors emphasizes the importance of financial probity and compliance. We believe that a board should ensure the entity's solvency, maintain high standards of financial reporting, and comply with regulatory environments.

Even if you are not a member of the Institute of Directors, you can still benefit from our wealth of governance news, insights, and resources. Sign up below to stay up to date with the latest industry trends and developments.
