Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Community Groups Registration Act, 2022?
The Community Groups Registration Act No. 30 of 2022 is the primary law governing Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) in Kenya. It replaced the old Department of Social Development guidelines, providing a clear legal framework for CBO registration, governance, financial management, and compliance. All CBOs must now file annual returns within 14 days of their AGM and notify the Registrar of official changes within 30 days.
Is CBOzetuonline free to start?
Yes! The Starter plan is completely free for CBOs with up to 50 members. It includes basic finance tracking, compliance reminders, and meeting management — everything a new CBO needs to get started. Upgrade to Growth or Enterprise as your organization grows.
How does fund accounting work for grants?
Each grant or restricted donation creates a separate Fund Account in the system. Money cannot be moved between restricted funds without an authorized variance approval. The system generates Budget vs. Actuals reports and Fund Accountability Statements exactly as required by donors like the EU, UNDP, or local government bodies.
Can CBOzetuonline generate PAYE and NSSF payslips?
Yes. The HR & Payroll module uses the 2024 Kenya PAYE tax bands, NSSF Tier I & II rates, and the new SHIF rate of 2.75%. It generates payslips, P9A annual tax summaries, and can export P10 monthly returns for direct submission to iTax.
Is my CBO data secure?
Absolutely. CBOzetuonline uses RSA-4096 bit / RS256 JWT authentication — the same standard used by banks. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Role-based access control ensures members only see what they're authorized to. Every action is logged in a tamper-evident audit trail.
Is CBOzetuonline available in Kiswahili?
Yes! CBOzetuonline supports 7 languages: English, Kiswahili, French, Spanish, Arabic, Portuguese, and Chinese. Members can switch language at any time, and Arabic is supported with full right-to-left text direction.
