Approved Overseas Auditors and Associations of Accountants Register moving to a new platform

As part of a broader technology upgrade project, the Approved Overseas Auditors and Associations of Accountants Register will be moving from the current portal to a new improved platform. With this change we are aiming at improving your experience.

What is changing

You will receive automated compliance reminders. You will also be able to submit your annual reports online.

What you can do to get ready

Check you have a RealMe® login

To access the new platform, you will need to have a RealMe login. RealMe is designed to protect your privacy and is a service used by many government departments in New Zealand.

If you have a RealMe login that you have used elsewhere (for example, to access other Companies Office services) you can use that here too.

If you do not yet have a RealMe login, visit the RealMe website to create one.

Check your contact details are up to date

We recently sent emails about this change to approved overseas auditors using the addresses we held on record. If you have not received an email from us, please contact us at auditorsregister@mbie.govt.nz to confirm your current contact details.

We will stay in touch

We will be sending more information soon and will work closely with you to support this change.

We are excited about the improvements and appreciate your cooperation as we make this upgrade.
