Where Process PA is strong

Process PA has earned a genuine niche, and it deserves credit:

- A strong fit for Australian clubs, associations, and not-for-profit committees, where the workflow matches how those committees actually run. - Affordability that suits smaller volunteer-run organisations. - A focus on the meeting and committee lifecycle, including agendas, minutes, and tasks.

If you run a club, an association, or a not-for-profit committee and you want a simple, affordable Australian product, Process PA is a strong and sensible fit.

Where Cohiva Quorum is strong

Quorum is built for boards and groups that need 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, including those incorporated under state Associations Incorporation Acts.

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