So you've updated your constitution and re-registered under the new Act. Now what?
There are a few things you need to do to make sure you are compliant with the Act.
1. Your society's officers must:
- Consent in writing to be an officer, and
- Certify that they are not disqualified.
You can use this form which you need to keep with the society's records. https://is-register.companiesoffice.govt.nz/assets/incorporated-societies/2022-act/template-is22-cco-officer-consent-and-certificate.pdf
2. You will need to store the following society records:
- Up to date membership details in a Register of Members
- Conflict of interest details for officers in an Interests Register
- Accounting Records (annual accounts must be filed with the Registrar)
- Minutes of committee meetings, AGMs and any other General Meetings
More information on the records you should keep is available here: https://is-register.companiesoffice.govt.nz/help-centre/running-your-incorporated-society/records-you-should-keep/
