A quick intro to WiseComply

Edited

WiseComply is an online compliance and record-keeping platform designed to help New Zealand societies, clubs, and not-for-profits meet the legal obligations of the Incorporated Societies Act 2022 — without the paperwork headache.

It acts as your digital assistant, helping your committee track key obligations, submit required declarations, and stay confident that you’re on the right side of the law.

Why It Exists

The Incorporated Societies Act 2022 introduced new responsibilities for societies:

  • Mandatory re-registration

  • Clearer officer duties

  • Better record-keeping

  • Transparent member and dispute management

  • More rigorous financial reporting

Many volunteer-led societies struggle to keep up. WiseComply makes it easy.

 

What WiseComply Helps You Do

WiseComply guides you through:

  • Re-registration preparation and tracking

  • Managing officer, member, and subcommittee records

  • Building and storing your constitution

  • Logging and managing disputes

  • Keeping your meetings and approvals well documented

  • Storing society details and confirming legal notifications

  • Ensuring each activity aligns with your legal responsibilities

Think of it as a step-by-step digital compliance assistant that grows with your society.

 

Is WiseComply Official?

WiseComply is not a government service, but it has been designed to align with:

  • The Incorporated Societies Act 2022

  • Real-world expectations from the Incorporated Societies Register and Charities Register

WiseComply supports you to meet your legal obligations — but you still need to notify official registers when required. We’ll prompt you when and where.

 

Who Should Use It?

WiseComply is built for:

·       Incorporated societies

·       Sports clubs

·       Cultural or religious groups

·       Community organisations

·       Charitable societies

It’s especially helpful for committees, secretaries, and officers who want to stay organised and compliant — even with volunteer turnover.
