Inventory of data used for analysis.
Our data is sourced from official sources such as the "Companies Register", "Financial Service Providers Register" and "Charities Service" which are maintained by the NZ Companies Office or Department of Internal Affairs. Links to source are provided on legal entities for validation.
Changes made at source are captured each day and processed to maintain a propriety database supporting a wider range of use cases. We combine, clean and enrich these separate data sets for a single connected view to make use of network theory analysis. A network is made up of connections between entities and how they are related to each other via roles. The table provided list the current inventory in use and when it was last updated.
All the changes captured and processed during the month are published at the beginning of the following month. A tweet from @OversightLtd is sent once it is available. The results can be used via the website for interactive use or integrated via APIs for corporate members.
If you would like to have additional data included into the network please get in contact with Oversight Support. For more up-to-date data a bespoke solution can be provided for corporate registrations.
