1998/99 - National Manager’s Review
Evolution, rather than revolution, is the norm for most organisations. However, the past year has seen revolutionary
changes for the Companies Office - both in terms of its internal administration and its external services.
The year began with a substantial restructuring. The objective of it was simple – to organise the Companies Office
in such a manner that it can continue to deliver new and existing services to the highest possible standards - and
at lower costs. The efficiencies of scale and effect of electronic services saw a number of services centralised to
single locations. At the same time, a national on-line services team was established with staff based in all the
regional offices.
As a consequence of these changes, the regional offices no longer exist to replicate administration across the
country, nor to anchor clients to the outdated services and practices. Rather they now provide a liaison point for
client communication and support as the Companies Office rapidly moves towards the electronic age.
The second revolution occurred in April with our launch of the world’s first Internet-based company incorporation
service. The launch was more than a symbolic step towards a fully electronic register. It also placed the ability
2
to maintain and search commercial information on public registers firmly in the hands of the business community.
The result is increased speed and accuracy, lower fees and compliance costs, and greater access to our services.
The spectre of the millennium bug, spiralling IT costs and the pace of change have made many people understandably
wary of the Information Age. However during the past year we have continued to roll out incremental developments
– punctuated by milestones such as the Internet incorporation service – in a manner that convinces clients that
the Internet is not a case of the emperor’s new clothes. It has a permanent and critical place in the business
community.
I am confident that our clients have heard and accepted this message. As the report on business trends shows,
the migration to electronic services throughout the year has been at a truly phenomenal rate. It reinforces my
belief in the importance of complementing technological developments with a strong client communication and
support strategy.
Client communication remains a critical part of our desire to enhance service standards. To that end the client user
groups have continued to provide us with a valuable feedback source. At a national level the Companies Office

Client Liaison Board was expanded to include Claire Johnstone from the Wellington Chamber of Commerce, Justin
Kerr representing the Financial Services Federation, and Adrian Jones, General Manager of Dun & Bradstreet. I
am grateful to all Board members for their comment and contribution throughout the year.
The second phase of the restructuring was completed at the end of the year with the establishment of a centralised
enforcement team based in Auckland. The team has a three-way focus on reviewing financial statements and
investment prospectuses; conducting investigations; and pursuing prosecutions and prohibitions. One of the first
steps of the team has been to establish an effective understanding with the Serious Fraud Office for referrals and
information sharing between the respective agencies.
In a year of so much change, it is appropriate to thank the staff of the Companies Office for achieving so much.
National Manager,
Business Registries
Adam Feeley
Combining the very best in leading technology with staff committed to providing professional and personal service
to clients has proved an effective strategy for success. I am confident that the contents of this annual report
demonstrates the extent of that success, and provides a clear blueprint for future success.

Companies Office Annual Report

Principal Functions
The business registries under the Companies Office umbrella have a dual role in facilitating business enterprise in
New Zealand and promoting commercial confidence. They exist to provide a "public notice board" regarding the
rights and interests of those who register their interests or businesses. Conversely, the registries also operate as
commercial "signposts" enabling other parties to obtain relevant business information and thereby assist them in
making commercial decisions. In short, the information contained on the registers enables businesses to make
faster, more accurate and better-informed commercial decisions. They help minimise business risks and costs.
Corporate Body Registers
The Companies Office maintains and manages the registry for all corporate bodies including:
New Zealand and overseas companies;
Charitable Trusts;
Incorporated Societies;
Friendly Societies;
Credit Unions; and
8
Building Societies.
Administration of the registers falls into three distinct but related areas:
1. new registrations,
2. maintenance of the information contained on the registers, and
3. removal of defunct entities.
The information held on the registers is available for public search. This may be conducted either in person at the
regional office where the company is registered, or via our Internet site (www.companies.govt.nz). Aside from the
convenience factor, financial incentives in the form of lower fees encourage the use of our Internet services.
Motor Vehicle Securities Register
The Motor Vehicle Securities Register (MVSR) is a distinct and completely electronic register of security interests.
Although operating out of the National Processing Centre in Auckland, it is accessible for search and registration
purposes via the Internet. The register enables both credit providers and purchasers of motor vehicles to protect
their respective financial positions by providing information as to the existence and priority of any financial
advances made against a vehicle.

Insurance and Superannuation Unit
The Insurance and Superannuation Unit, (based in the Wellington regional office) incorporates the work and
functions of the Government Actuary. The unit registers superannuation schemes and ensures compliance with the
Superannuation Schemes Act 1989 by those persons responsible for managing registered schemes.
The unit also administers and ensures compliance with the Life Insurance Act 1908, the Insurance Companies
Deposits Act 1953 and the Insurance Companies (Ratings & Inspections) Act 1994 by life insurance and general
insurance companies.
Securities and Corporate Compliance
In addition to management of the register, the Registrar has a number of statutory responsibilities in relation to
the prudential supervision of corporate bodies and issuers of securities. The Securities and Corporate Compliance
Unit in Auckland comprises a team of specialist professionals who have three functions:
1. Market supervision: The unit analyses and vets financial statements, investment prospectuses and similar
information required to be disclosed under the Securities Act, Financial Reporting Act and related legislation.
Registration of prospectuses permits an organisation to issue public securities, while registration of other
financial information enables creditors and investors alike to assess the financial position of corporate bodies
with whom they may be transacting business.
2. Investigation: Where issues of non-compliance with the statutory regimes arise from the information disclosed,
the unit may conduct investigations under the powers provided by the Companies Act, Securities Act or
Corporations (Investigation and Management) Act. The purpose of these investigations is to consider whether
any statutory breaches have occurred and whether any further compliance action is needed.
9
3. Enforcement: Where investigations identify serious issues of non-compliance that remain unremedied, civil
or criminal sanctions may be pursued. This can include prosecutions of companies or their directors, referrals
to other agencies such as the Serious Fraud Office, or commencement of director disqualification proceedings.
On-Line Services
One initiative arising from the Companies Office restructure was the establishment of a regionally based team to
complement the increasing IT-based services and facilities of the Companies Office. The team comprises at least
one on-line services consultant in each regional office. Their functions include:
Ensuring the continual migration of paper-dependent clients to on-line services.
Assisting on-line clients to use new on-line products as they become available.
Maintaining and managing effective client relationships.
Developing staff skills and support systems within the Companies Office to support on-line clients.
Companies Office Annual Report
All consultants conduct regular seminars via organisations such as the District Law Societies and Institute of
Chartered Accountants. They also regularly arrange visits to individual clients. Their email addresses are listed on
the back inside cover of this report.

Business Trends
The most dramatic feature of the year was the huge surge in company incorporations over the 12 month period -
the highest number of company incorporations ever recorded in New Zealand. The total number of incorporations
- slightly in excess of 26,500 new companies - represented a 10% increase against 1997/98 figures and was
consistent with the continual increase in company incorporations since 1989/90.
Among the contributing factors were the simplified structure offered by the 1993 Companies Act, reduced fees for
incorporating and maintaining companies, and the availability of electronic registration procedures.

statistics is the increasing longevity of New
Zealand companies. Over 95% of companies
remain active after one year of trading. Of
those companies incorporated at the
beginning of this decade, over 50% of them
are still in business.
These figures rebut a common belief that the
majority of companies fail in their first few
years of life. They vary according
to region, with 81% of Otago/Southland
companies exceeding five years in business
compared to 71% of companies based in
Auckland surviving beyond the five-year mark.

Years since incorporation

The commercial value of the information contained on the business registries is reflected in the 90% jump in
the number of company searches undertaken this year over the same period in 1997/98. A corresponding 20%
decline in requests for physical files also highlights the changes clients are making to the manner in which
they retrieve company information. This trend is likely to continue as more and more on-line users become
familiar with our Internet registration and search services.
While company incorporations and searches increased significantly, our statistics also show a drop from the
previous year in liquidations and receiverships.

A higher level of borrowing was evident with security interest registrations for both the Companies Register
and Motor Vehicle Securities Register showing an 8% and 6% increase respectively. Company charge registrations
were slow during the first half of the year but the last six months saw a growth spurt in this area - a reflection
of recent moves towards greater investor confidence.

On-Line Business Trends
The Companies Office has the goal of ensuring that all business registry services are available on-line by the end
of next year. The trends over the past year have confirmed this is a realistic goal. Acceptance of the Internet as
a facility for searching and registering company information is now widespread. More significantly, the majority
of clients now have a preference for on-line services where an electronic option exists. The business community's
reduced dependence on search agencies and paper-based technology is reflected in the high 60% of registered
customers recorded during the year.
One particular feature of our on-line services that clients have been quick to appreciate is flexibility. Our system
is frequently accessed between 7.00-10.00 pm during the working week. There is also an obvious trend toward
more direct dealings with firms in those towns where no Companies Office exists.
The increased use of our on-line services is also assisted by the wider IT development that is happening across
the business world. A greater acceptance of information technology, together with tangible improvements in service,
such as the availability of flat rate Internet accounts and nationwide points of presence for quality ISP's, has made
the Internet more accessible for all New Zealanders. In addition to increased use by our fee paying clients, the
12
site has seen an even greater increase in the level of casual use.
With regard to the current level of on-line service available via the Internet the past year has seen some spectacular
growth. The most obvious of these has been the on-line company incorporation facility. Within only three months
of its launch, approximately one-third of all companies were being incorporated by this means. Given the significance
of this development, particularly within the current legislative environment for electronic commerce, the extent
of the support for electronic company incorporation is extremely heartening.
Other trends worth noting for the past year include:
The established on-line services continue to show a modest, but steady upward movement. Current trends
suggest that these services (such as on-line name reservation and file searches) will taper off leaving a
residual 15% - 20% of clients continuing to use manual services. In respect of both search and filing services,
support for migration to on-line services is tapering off at around 80-85% of total use.
The accessibility (ie unrestricted by time or geographical location) of the on-line service has seen a
disproportionate growth in the use of Companies Office services. This is most evident in respect of company
file searches where the modest reduction of paper searches of company files (down by 20%) has been offset
by the number of electronic searches (up by 90%).

1999/2000 Outlook
The past year has seen immense change in the Companies Office. One is tempted to spend the 1999/2000 year
simply consolidating our successes. However consolidation is not an option. Complacency and stagnation must be
avoided. Instead there must be a committed drive towards continual achievement both as a business registry and
a corporate regulator.
As this report goes to print, the Companies Office has been announced as the winner of the inaugural KPMG
Innovation Award. The judges said of our entry, "The Companies Office on-line service is a leading-edge introduction
of e-commerce to New Zealand companies, achieved with remarkable efficiency in an area where digitisation can
be fraught with risk." The success already achieved will continue to act as an impetus towards further developments.
Innovation
The coming year will see more innovations from the Companies Office. Principal amongst these will be the introduction
of on-line filing of annual returns - dramatically simplifying interaction with the Companies Office. A further groundbreaking
first will be the introduction of a "real-time" online credit card payment system. The system, using 128bit
encryption, will be the fastest, most secure and simplest form of electronic payment in New Zealand.
20
Client Support
Following on from the national on-line services team of last year, client support will be further enhanced this year
with the progressive development of client "account managers." We recognise that the Companies Office has an
enormous variety of clients, all with different needs. To meet these needs we will initiate a pilot program for key
clients in Auckland and Wellington. The role of the account managers will be to provide a liaison point for
communicating developments within the Companies Office and acting upon client issues and concerns.
Client Service
The telephone remains one of our most important communication tools. Speedy, high-quality advice and information
is one of the standards by which we are judged, and the telephone is one of the best means to meet this expectation.
Accordingly, a national free-phone call centre will be set up during the year, providing identical access to Companies
Office services for clients from any part of the country.
Enforcement
Having established a central enforcement unit at the end of last year, early success in enforcement matters will
be a priority for the Office. Issues related to public confidence in investment schemes will continue to be a high
priority. Similarly, we will re-assert our commitment to ensuring that delinquent directors are quickly identified
and addressed through the powers of the Companies Act.
Conclusion
Public sector reforms over the past decade have justifiably heightened service expectations from government
agencies. It is an expectation that I welcome and one that can only be fulfilled by identifiable achievements in
addressing key needs. This business plan, therefore, seeks to highlight those needs. The measurement of our success
in meeting those needs remains in the hands of our clients.

Companies Office Wins Top Award for Innovation
The Companies Office has won the top award in the 1999 KMPG Innovation Awards for its Internet-based company
incorporation service.
24
Pictured from left: Joan Smith, NZIPA; Alan Isaac, KPMG; Adam
Feeley, Companies Office; Hon Maurice Williamson
Managed jointly between KPMG and the New Zealand Institute of Public Administration (NZIPA) the biennial awards
were judged on four criteria - innovation; effectiveness; the significance of benefits, and the ease with which the
systems and processes can be transferred to other bodies.
An independent panel of judges (chaired by Rob Laking of Victoria University) selected the finalists and chose the
category winners and the supreme award winner. The judges said of the Companies Office entry, “The Companies
Office on-line service is a leading-edge introduction of e-commerce to New Zealand companies, achieved with
remarkable efficiency in an area where digitisation can be fraught with risk.”
“The Office has not only solved these technical problems but has apparently dealt effectively with the associated
change and cultural issues. The benefits in terms of service are substantial and available to other organisations
able to take up the challenge of this degree of innovation.”
The Companies Office goes on to represent New Zealand in the Biennial Commonwealth Association of Public
Administration and Management (CAPAM) Innovation Awards to be held in South Africa in 2000.
The Companies Office is delighted to win the award, not only in recognition of the success of its technology, but
also for its endorsement of electronic commerce as the way to the future for doing business in New Zealand.
It gives great impetus to our commitment to achieving a fully on-line system in the year 2000.
