Governance Bites #174: Director knowledge of industry and change, with Jerry Hall.

Send us Fan Mail (https://www.buzzsprout.com/2343554/fa...) How much industry knowledge does a director really need? In this Governance Bites interview, Jerry Hall and Mark Banicevich explore why directors need to understand not only their industry, but also the regulatory, technological and other changes affecting it. They discuss the importance of directors doing their own homework rather than relying solely on management, and how boards can identify risks that cut across organisational silos. Using upcoming changes to New Zealand’s insurance legislation as a practical example, Jerry Hall explains why seemingly technical legal issues can quickly become significant governance, financial and solvency issues – and what boards should be asking management.  Jerry Hall is a Chartered Accountant (ICAEW) and seasoned CFO with more than 25 years of international leadership across financial services and insurance. His governance experience spans board reporting, audit committees, regulatory compliance, risk oversight and strategic finance across the UK, Middle East and Asia-Pacific. Jerry has led organisations through complex acquisitions, private equity ownership, post-merger integration and multi-jurisdiction regulatory challenges, working closely with regulators in the UK, UAE, Hong Kong and beyond. From building governance frameworks for global start-ups to advising CEOs and boards on regulatory strategy, he brings a practical, board-level perspective on governance, accountability and sustainable organisational growth. #Governance, #CorporateGovernance, #BoardLeadership, #Directors, #BoardOfDirectors, #RiskManagement, #Insurance, #InsuranceIndustry, #Regulation, #RegulatoryChange, #GovernanceBites, #NewZealand, #Leadership, #BoardEffectiveness, #DirectorsDuties, #boardcraft, #decisionmaking, #makingadifference, #ceo
