Financial resilience has become a central priority for financial institutions globally, particularly in environments characterised by heightened uncertainty, regulatory complexity, and systemic vulnerabilities. Integrated governance and compliance strategies have emerged as critical enablers of resilience, complementing traditional risk management approaches with organisational structures, cultural alignment, regulatory conformity, and robust supervisory mechanisms. This paper examines advances in financial resilience derived from integrated governance and compliance practices, focusing exclusively on scholarship published prior to 2019. The review synthesises insights from corporate governance, regulatory compliance, enterprise risk management, internal control frameworks, and behavioural finance to evaluate how governance structures and compliance mechanisms jointly support institutional resilience. The study highlights the evolution of integrated governance models, the interplay between cultural and structural governance factors, and the role of compliance in supporting proactive risk oversight, crisis preparedness, and operational continuity. The findings provide a foundation for developing holistic resilience frameworks applicable across diverse financial sectors.
