Anticipating Risks and Seizing Opportunities – PwC Risk Roadmap 2026
PwC’s Risk Roadmap for 2026 outlines how geopolitical volatility, rapid regulatory change and technological disruption are reshaping the risk landscape, demanding resilience and intelligent risk‑taking from leaders. It highlights macrotrends (geopolitical realignment, regionalism, declining multilateralism), a dense EU regulatory pipeline, and the need to reinvent compliance as a strategic, tech‑enabled capability. Seven “hot topics” are profiled: cyber security, AI, sustainability/internal controls, third‑party risk, supply chain, tax/transfer pricing, and people/organisation, each with risk drivers, red flags and board‑level questions to strengthen assurance, resilience and value creation by 2026.
Unlocking Opportunities: Executives Perspectives on Risks and Opportunities – 2026
The 2026 “Executive Perspectives on Top Risks and Opportunities” survey of 1,540 board and C-suite leaders finds strong optimism for growth despite persistent uncertainty. Leaders see significant revenue potential, with ecosystem expansion through strategic alliances and partnerships a key lever, while geographic expansion is approached more cautiously. Cyber threats, third‑party risks and legacy IT constraints dominate the near‑term risk landscape, and AI is viewed as both a transformative growth driver and a major source of security, integration and talent risks. Over the next decade, customers and competition, security and privacy, AI deployment, markets and economies, and talent challenges are the top long‑term concerns.

Indlulamithi South Africa Scenarios 2035
The Indlulamithi South Africa Scenarios 2035 explores three plausible futures for South Africa between 2024 and 2035, built from 26 high‑impact, high‑uncertainty variables and a refined social cohesion barometer. “Hadeda Home” imagines a fragile, compromise-driven democracy with sluggish reform; “Vulture Culture” depicts a populist, authoritarian, economically stagnant and crime‑ridden narco‑state; and “Weaver Work” portrays a cooperative nation with effective coalitions, green and inclusive growth, institutional renewal and social mobilisation. The scenarios aim to inform long‑term, evidence‑based planning and galvanise collective action across sectors.
KING V Code on Corporate Governance – Background, Objectives and Key Changes
The King V background paper explains that the review of King IV responds to a far more complex context, including climate change, social inequality, geopolitical instability, digital disruption and evolving sustainability reporting standards. The objectives were to align with new regulatory and reporting developments, simplify and clarify the Code, and standardise disclosure via a separate Disclosure Framework. Key changes include reducing the principles from 17 to 13, sharpening recommended practices, clarifying independence criteria and committee composition, strengthening the governance of data, information and technology (especially AI), and explicitly adopting double materiality for sustainability disclosures.
King V Code on Corporate Governance – Disclosure Framework
The King V Disclosure Framework operationalises the “apply and explain” regime by prescribing how organisations must disclose application of the Code’s principles, exceptions on recommended practices, and conclusions on the four governance outcomes. It requires governing body approval, annual review and publication alongside other external reports, and allows cross‑referencing to integrated and other reports to avoid duplication. For each of the thirteen principles, it sets out an exception declaration plus specific qualitative disclosures, focused on satisfaction statements, key activities, and governance judgements needed for stakeholders to assess the quality of governance.
