Incorporated Societies 2024 – What you need to know - 12 November 2024 (On Demand)

Description

Join our comprehensive webinar on the new Incorporated Societies Act 2022 and Regulations 2023 to make an informed decision on whether your society will need to reregister. Perfect for all levels, this session offers practical tips and essential insights for a smooth transition.

The Incorporated Societies Act 2022 and the Incorporated Societies Regulations 2023 came into force on 5 October 2023, and give existing incorporated societies 2 ½ years (to 5 April 2026) to reregister under the new legislation if they wish to retain the benefits of incorporation.
This webinar will look at the importance of incorporated societies making a decision in light of the new legislation, the potential consequences of not doing so, options to consider, and for those that do decide to reregister, important tips for before, during and after the reregistration process.

The webinar is intended to be suitable for those involved with incorporated societies, at whatever level, advanced or otherwise. It is intended to give both a theoretical overview as well as sufficient detail to be practical. Practitioners from both small and large firms should attend.
