The Risk in Focus 2026 report not only highlights the key risks that European organisations are facing, it also provides a dedicated Board Briefing designed for governance bodies.

- The main challenges for organisations in areas such as cybersecurity, digital disruption and AI, geopolitical uncertainty, human capital and sustainability
- Key questions for boards to consider in order to strengthen resilience, align strategies and support informed decision-making
As organisations face persistent uncertainty and rapid technological change, this briefing is a practical resource to help board members and executives focus on the right priorities, engage with internal audit, and reinforce governance effectiveness.
