The operational difference

Turn a statutory obligation into a better client service.

PAIA should not live in a spreadsheet, a shared drive and someone’s memory. Bring the work into one place and make progress visible.

◷

Give hours back to the team

Stop rebuilding the same documents or chasing missing details at filing time. One source of company information keeps every output moving.

◈

Know what is actually outstanding

A calm, live view across every client company replaces guesswork with a clear next action and a deadline you can trust.

▣

Make consistency your standard

Professional-firm workflows, pre-populated templates and visible version history help every client receive the same considered experience.

The confidence of knowing every client is moving forward, without another filing-season fire drill.
PAIA operations, made practical for professional firms.

One connected knowledge base

Build every PAIA document from what your firm already knows.

Company Information becomes the source for the entire workflow. Capture the registered details once, then use the document generator to pre-populate the PAIA Manual, Information Officer appointment letter and Annual Report, without re-keying the same client data.

Capture once

Stop copying registered names, contact details and addresses into every new template. The company record does the repetitive work.

02

Generate, then review

Start with populated documents instead of blank pages, so skilled staff spend their time checking substance rather than formatting admin.

03

Scale the service

Use the same controlled workflow across every client company without multiplying the spreadsheets, folders and follow-up effort.

The value isn’t another place to store a manual. It’s a repeatable PAIA service your firm can deliver without adding equivalent admin.

✓ Less duplicate data capture✓ Faster document preparation✓ More billable capacity

PAIA is billable work. Is your firm billing for it?

Every client company needs a PAIA Manual, an Information Officer and an Annual PAIA Report. Most firms either leave that work to someone else or do it by hand, one client at a time.

  • Clients file PAIA elsewhere, or not at all.
  • The same company details re-keyed into every manual and report.
  • Filing-season hours that never make it onto an invoice.

Give every team member the same answer when a client asks, “Are we ready?” A portfolio view makes the next action visible without another spreadsheet or status meeting.

What this gives your firmTurn uncertainty into a clear next step.

Who is responsible for PAIA

PAIA compliance software for firms and group corporates

PAIA is not only an accounting firm or company secretary obligation. Every private and public body, including group corporates and their subsidiaries, must appoint an Information Officer, publish a PAIA Manual and file an Annual PAIA Report. Intersect Connect is PAIA compliance software that brings all of that into one accountable workflow, whether you manage a single company or a large corporate group.

PAIA compliance software dashboard for accounting firms, company secretaries and group corporates

Because the same building blocks apply to every entity, this PAIA compliance software lets professional firms and in-house corporate teams reuse one company record across every manual, appointment letter and report. The result is less duplicate data capture, faster preparation and a clear view of what is still outstanding across the whole group.

Does PAIA apply to group corporates?

Yes. Any juristic person that qualifies as a private body under PAIA carries the same duties, so holding companies and their subsidiaries each need a compliant PAIA Manual and a designated Information Officer. From the first PAIA Manual to the Annual Report, PAIA compliance software keeps every obligation in one accountable place. You can confirm the official requirements on the Department of Justice PAIA pages and the Information Regulator website.

Why choose purpose-built PAIA compliance software?

Spreadsheets and shared drives were never designed for statutory deadlines. Purpose-built PAIA compliance software keeps the PAIA Manual, the Information Officer record and the Annual PAIA Report connected to a single company profile, so nothing is re-keyed and nothing is missed. For a group corporate with several subsidiaries, that structure is the difference between a calm filing season and a last-minute scramble. Intersect Connect gives accounting firms, company secretaries and in-house corporate teams the same dependable PAIA compliance software, with a clear audit trail and a shared view of progress. As obligations grow, good PAIA compliance software scales with you instead of adding more admin.
