🌐 Data loss has topped the list as the top concern for Directors & Officers in the Middle East in our Global Directors’ and Officers’ Survey 2024/25 Report, written in partnership with WTW.

The Financial Accountability Regime (FAR) has brought new layers of responsibility for insurers and senior execs — but is it a major shift or more of the same? Dean Carrigan was quoted in (Re)in Asia’s latest deep dive, commenting on what FAR really means for governance, operations and D&O exposure. His take? While the regime adds complexity, it doesn’t radically move the risk dial — Australia’s regulatory framework was already pretty robust. The real challenge lies in mapping accountability and tightening internal frameworks — and that’s where insurers have felt the pressure. ⚖️ Read the full article and learn more about Dean's insights here: https://bit.ly/3Y14Wso
