""These debts are historic. They go back over many years. While some of the issues were worked on in more recent times, the full scale of the problem only became visible during the leadership change in 2025," the Update states. "Once the Board understood the full picture, it was clear that there was no responsible way forward other than liquidation.""
"ITP's CEO stepped down in August, and in an exit interview responded to a question about her biggest achievements in the role by saying "When I joined ITP, it was a brilliant organization with deep roots in the tech community, but to be frank, it was living beyond its means. Refactoring the organization-financially, structurally, and strategically-has been a tough but necessary journey.""
"This situation impacts more than ITP's ~10,000 members, because the organization offers assessment services that assess whether IT professionals' skills and qualifications make them eligible to move to New Zealand for work. ITP also certifies IT degrees at New Zealand universities, and oversees the NZ Cloud Computing Code of Practice."
The Institute of IT Professionals (ITP) is insolvent and the Board has confirmed liquidation is the only responsible course after a full review of finances. Historic debts accumulated over many years became fully visible during a leadership change in 2025. The CEO stepped down in August and described efforts to refactor the organization financially, structurally, and strategically. ITP's constitution requires member approval to wind up, and a Special General Meeting is scheduled for 23 October 2025 to confirm liquidation and appoint a liquidator. ITP will not conduct any activity ahead of the meeting. The organization assessed immigration eligibility, certified IT degrees, and oversaw the NZ Cloud Computing Code of Practice, affecting roughly 10,000 members.
