SUMMARY:Strengthening board oversight of risk
DESCRIPTION:Directors of UK SMEs are navigating a perfect storm: economic volatility, supply chain disruption, tightening financing conditions and fast-moving regulatory expectations — all while running lean teams and wearing multiple hats. Most boards are awash with data, but far fewer have clear, decision-ready insight that genuinely supports better judgement and long-term resilience.\nDesigned specifically for SME directors, this webinar translates fresh findings from Diligent’s What Directors Think 2026 research into a practical playbook for smaller and mid-sized businesses. We’ll explore how to sharpen risk oversight when you don’t have a large risk or internal audit function, how to make sense of AI-driven change, and how to turn board packs into forward-looking assurance that informs strategy.\nAttendees will leave with concrete, right-sized actions to strengthen risk and internal control oversight without adding unnecessary complexity or cost.\nKey discussion themes\n\nRisk oversight is rising — but confidence is lagging in SMEs\nFrom information overload to actionable assurance for smaller boards\nLinking risk, assurance and strategy in an SME context\nPractical priorities for UK SME boards\n\nKey takeaways\nBy the end of the webinar, attendees will be able to:\n\nBenchmark their board’s current approach to risk oversight against the latest insights from What Directors Think 2026 — and understand what is most relevant for SMEs.\nRedesign board reporting so directors receive clearer, more timely and forward-looking risk insight between meetings, without over-engineering processes.\nCreate a simple action plan to move from retrospective risk reporting toward a more integrated, future-focused model of assurance that supports both resilience and growth.\n\n
