A quick intro to WiseComply
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.
