Welcome to BDO Ireland's Financial Services INED Network

BDO Ireland is pleased to introduce an exclusive peer community for Independent Non-Executive Directors (INEDs) operating within the Financial Services (FS) sector.

The sector continues to evolve — with regulatory complexity, AI and FinTech disrupting the industry, and shifting stakeholder expectations reshaping the boardroom agenda. Our FS INED Network is designed to provide practical support, timely insights and space for peer connection — helping INEDs navigate that complexity with confidence.

With a combination of peer-to-peer networking opportunities, in-person flagship events, and insightful content, BDO Ireland is committed to helping INEDs stay informed, empowered, and connected. Our goal is to support your oversight role and ensure your perspective remains impactful.

The Network is open to active Independent Non-Executive Directors across Ireland’s Financial Services landscape — from banking and insurance to asset management, fintech, and more. Whether you’re seeking to sharpen your oversight or broaden your perspective, this Network is tailored to support your boardroom contribution.

We’ve structured the FS INED Network to provide value through three core pillars:

Events
Engage in invite-only briefings, peer-led discussions, and high-impact sessions focused on current boardroom issues.
Resources
Access timely FS insights, expert-authored content and practical guidance to support your oversight role.
Community
Join a trusted network of peers with opportunities for informal connection, moderated forums, and knowledge exchange.

Our FS INED Network is designed to create a space where INEDs can connect meaningfully with peers, engage with subject matter experts and stay ahead of fast-moving developments across Ireland’s financial services sector.

Members benefit from:

Private roundtable discussions on regulatory, ESG, cybersecurity, and board governance matters;
Early access to curated technical updates, sector insights, and thematic reports, featuring key trends and developments shaping the FS landscape;
Opportunities to build peer relationships in a moderated, trusted environment.

Membership is free and by registration. To ensure relevance and focus, we ask prospective members to express their interest using the link below.

We’ll be in touch shortly to confirm your inclusion and share next steps.
