IoD Directors' Fees Survey

The IoD Directors' Fees Survey is now open and will close on 16 May 2025.

Our annual Directors' Fees Survey is crucial to understanding remuneration trends and governance practices across all service sectors. As a part of our governance community, your input is essential in ensuring transparency around directors' fees – including where directors volunteer their time or receive no remuneration. This information helps support directors and boards to benchmark fees appropriately and understand directors' duties. Whether you serve in a paid or voluntary capacity, your participation provides valuable insights for the entire governance community. 

2025 Directors’ Fees Survey   

EY manage the survey on our behalf. They confidentially collect and compete the survey data and results are published in the annual IoD Directors’ Fees Report.  

What you’ll get 

IoD members will earn two CPD points for participation in the survey. These points can be self-logged in your  CPD dashboard in the My Profile section of the website. 

The survey is open to both members and non-members. If you are a non-member and would like to participate in the survey please contact us at governanceservices@iod.org.nz and we will send you all the details you need to participate.
