Watch this short interview with GovernWith's Jennifer Dean and Fi Mercer to learn more about:

- Jennifer and her wealth of experience as a non-executive and executive Board Director, an actuary and financial services, superannuation and insurance industry executive with over 25 years experience. 
- The importance of self-led annual and externally-led evaluations for Financial Institutions 
- The types of clients and organisations Jenny works with
- Jenny's role as a Financial Institutions Professional Advisor and Expert Convenor with GovernWith
- Some final tips and tricks for Financial Institutions looking to enhance their compliance and contemporary governance capability 

 

"After completing a full Board assessment and Governance Review, led externally by Jennifer Dean of GovernWith, the results have been outstanding. We now have a clear Action and Implementation Plan for the next two years. This provides reassurance for both the Board and Management, setting a strong foundation with clear objectives and expectations. Through our partnership with GovernWith, we’ve successfully integrated regulation and compliance — including preparation for ESG reporting — into a modern, user-friendly document that supports our Strategic Plan."

CHAIR, FAMILY FIRST BANK Kathy Dickson
