Companies Act 1993

Schedule 14: List of relevant Acts and registers

You could also call this:

"Laws and lists that help track New Zealand businesses and organisations"

The Companies Act 1993 has a list of other Acts and registers that are relevant to it. You can find these in a table that lists the Acts and the registers that go with them. The Acts include the Companies Act 1993, the New Zealand Business Number Act 2016, and the Incorporated Societies Act 1908. Each of these Acts has a register that keeps track of certain information, like the New Zealand register and overseas register for the Companies Act 1993.

You can also find registers for other Acts, like the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the Financial Reporting Act 2013. These registers keep track of things like financial service providers and licensed auditors. There are many other Acts and registers listed in the table, including the Limited Partnerships Act 2008 and the Retirement Villages Act 2003.

All of these Acts and registers are connected to the Companies Act 1993, which is empowered by s 404. They help keep track of different types of businesses and organizations in New Zealand. You can look at the table to see all the different Acts and registers that are relevant to the Companies Act 1993.
