Important warning: Director recruitment scams

New Zealand directors are being targeted by increasingly sophisticated recruitment scams. If approached about a board opportunity, always verify the recruiter and the legitimacy of the role before sharing personal information. The IoD will never ask you to apply through an undisclosed third party claiming to act on our behalf. If in doubt, please contact us directly.

New Zealand continues to be in the midst of an uncertain and challenging Directors and Officers (D&O) insurance market. The IoD takes a closer look at the new and emerging risks affecting market uncertainty in D&O insurance – a rising sea of change, a report published in partnership with Dentons Kensington Swan and Marsh NZ.

The IoD’s 2021/22 Directors’ Fees Report found that 85.1% of organisations provided directors with liability insurance (up from 78.5% the year prior), so we know this is a topic directors and boards around the country will be paying close attention to. This report explores the challenges of long-term business sustainability facing boards today and the increasing influence of social and environmental considerations and risks.
