Where Cohiva Quorum is strong

Quorum is built for Australian boards and groups that want statutory governance in one product. Its wedge is:

- The board portal together with a statutory entity register, so registers, officeholders, and members sit with the meeting and resolution record. - Corporations Act 2001 framing built in: resolutions carry their citation, and the section 194 and 195 conflicted-voting rules are applied from the entity type. - A section 251A minute book where signed minutes are immutable and corrections are tracked. - Multi-entity group oversight for a holding company and its subsidiaries as one tenant with many entities. - ACNC framing for registered charities and support for incorporated associations.

Quorum helps you comply and is designed to meet your Australian governance obligations, while the entity and its officers remain responsible for compliance.
