The RBNZ and FMA presented the expectations at an industry roundtable. They cover three risks: increased cyber risk, governance and oversight challenges, and growing third-party and concentration risk. Regulated entities should keep strong foundational cyber controls. Boards and senior management must know where AI is used, understand its risks and be clear about who is accountable. Operational resilience remains a supervisory focus.
