96 Examination of persons concerned with incorporated (1) For conducting an investigation of the affairs of an incorporated association, the Director may, by written notice, require a person whom the Director reasonably believes to have some knowledge of the affairs of the association, require the person to attend before the Director at the time and place specified in the notice to answer questions relating to the investigation. Associations Act 2003 65 (2) The person must not, without reasonable excuse, refuse or fail: (a) to attend before the Director; or (b) to answer a question put to the person by the Director. (3) The person must not, when appearing before the Director, make a statement the person knows to be false or misleading in a material particular. (4) The person is not excused from answering a question when required to do so by the Director on the ground that the answer to the question might tend to incriminate the person or make the person liable to a penalty, but the answer to the question is not admissible in evidence against the person in any proceedings, other than proceedings for an offence against subsection (2) or (3).
