Conflict of Interest Detection

Cross-referencing councillor and MP interest declarations, government procurement contracts, political donations, and NZX director appointments to surface potential conflicts of interest across New Zealand public life.

This page surfaces potential conflicts of interest based on publicly available data. A connection does not imply wrongdoing — it indicates a relationship that may warrant disclosure or further review. All data is derived from official registers and public records.

Methodology & Sources

Conflicts are detected by cross-referencing entity identifiers across multiple public datasets. When a company appears in both an interest register (councillor or MP) and the GETS procurement database, the overlap is flagged. Matching is performed via the NZXplorer shared companies registry, which links entities across platforms using NZBN numbers and company names from the New Zealand Companies Office.

Stale declarationsare identified by checking the Companies Office registration status of declared entities. A “Removed” or “Struck Off” status suggests the declaration may not have been updated to reflect the company's current status.

Limitations: Entity matching relies on company registry linkage and may miss connections where companies operate under trading names or subsidiaries not yet linked. Coverage depends on the completeness of the shared companies registry (currently 1,807 interest entities linked, 498 suppliers linked).
