Methodology

  • Data sourced from the NZ Companies Office Entity Role Search API
  • Officers matched by name (first 3 characters + exact last name)
  • Not all iwi officers will have Companies Register records — matching is name-based and may miss some individuals
  • Company status codes: 50 = Registered (active), 60 = Struck Off, 80 = Removed
  • A single officer may appear under multiple iwi if they serve on more than one iwi governance board
