Watch this short informal but informative conversation between Fi Mercer – GovernWith CEO, and Jennifer Dean – GovernWith Financial Institution Professional Advisor, for insight into: 


  • Summary of the sector-specific themes from 2025
  • APRA's finalised processes - with direct respect to the skills matrix
  • The willingness of ASIC and APRA to enforce their regulatory powers around licensed conditions.
  • The key elements that boards will have to consider as we move into 2026, with particular interest in organisation resilience.

"One of the things I liked about GovernWith was the ability to customise the Governance Review and Director Skills Matrix to align with financial institutions' unique needs. We wanted to draw a direct correlation between a strategic plan and board capabilities, and this process helped us achieve that."

CHAIR, FAMILY FIRST BANK Kathy Dickson

“This process has given me great comfort that we are linking skills to strategy and making governance efficient. Our management team is grateful for the clarity and time savings.”
