DUN N & BRADSTREET
The New Zealand Government, Departments and Agencies are Registered with Dun & Bradstreet . All alleged governments are now corporations, either listed with the SEC, Dunn and Bradstreet and / or by way of another obfuscated and soon to be disclosed means.
It is interesting that Dun and Bradstreet also would appear to list the following New Zealand entities as registered ‘companies’:
Accident Compensation Corporation
Auckland Council Airways Corporation of New Zealand limited Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority Children’s Commissioner Commerce Commission Crown Law Office Department of Conservation Department of Corrections Department of Internal Affairs Department of Labour (Also Traded as Employment Relations Service) as companies.) Financial Markets Authority (Also Traded as Te Mana Tatai Hokohoko) Genesis Power Limited Government Communications Security Bureau Independent Police Complaints Authority Inland Revenue (Also Traded as IRD) Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment Ministry of Defence Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade Interestingly, the Office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet is NOT registered with D&B. The above list comprises only a selection of the listings. Some of the above are actually companies (those with “Limited” at the end of their name) but that does not account for why NZ government departments, public service departments, non-public service departments, ‘Crown’ entities etc. are listed as trading companies with the U.S. SEC. The use of the term “Also Traded as” is rather telling – companies have trading names; government departments do not. The Australian D&B website states that Australian government departments and agencies have DUNS numbers, allocated now in order to prevent fraud and to ensure payments are made to and from the correct parties. This does not explain why many government departments / agencies; while listed with D&B do not seem to have DUNS numbers allocated to them. Furthermore, it seems somewhat odd that entities such as the Treasury, Children’s Commissioner or the Privacy Commissioner would require the ‘security’ of DUNS numbers. And; if it is so critical that all government departments are allocated a DUNS number – then why on earth would the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet NOT be registered with Dun & Bradstreet is the same manner?
