Incorporated Societies changes and what they mean for you

Big changes have come into effect for Incorporated Societies and mean you have to take action by April 2026 to continue operating as an Incorporated Society. You will need to re-register by April 2026 and comply with new financial reporting requirements.

There is a lot of information out there, and many of you will already have begun the re-registration process. We also know that it can be tricky to know what you need to do and when, and if this even applies to you.

Hui E! and Volunteering New Zealand are bringing those in the know to you at this webinar to answer your questions. Katie and Michelle will be joined by Steven Moe (partner at Parry Field lawyers and 20 years experience in this area), XRB (the Crown Entity that set the financial reporting standards) and IRD. Come along if you are in a leadership or governance role in an Incorporated Society, or if you just want to find out more.

By the end of the webinar you will know what to do and where to go for support. It will cover:

• Re-registration
• Financial reporting standards and templates
• Tax implications
• Q&A.

Before you come we encourage you to:

• Check out if you are an Incorporated Society here
• Think about whether an Incorporated Society is the right entity type for your group here
• Find out about the re-registration process here
• See the new financial reporting standards here.
