“Acts and their official registers for different types of organisations in New Zealand”

This schedule lists different Acts and their related registers in New Zealand. The Acts cover various types of organisations and business activities, such as companies, societies, and financial services.

For each Act, there’s a corresponding register. These registers are official lists that keep track of important information. For example, the Companies Act 1993 has the New Zealand register and overseas register, while the New Zealand Business Number Act 2016 has the New Zealand Business Number Register.

Some Acts have more specific registers. The Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 has multiple registers, and the Financial Reporting Act 2013 has registers for Approved Overseas Auditors and Associations of Accountants. There are also registers for things like retirement villages, financial service providers, and personal property securities.
