Compliance Engine & GenG Settings

CoopPilot embeds the statutory requirements of the German Cooperative Act (Genossenschaftsgesetz - GenG) directly into administrative workflows.

1. Compliance Engine​

The automated compliance engine continuously evaluates cooperative compliance against statutory standards:

  • Minimum Members Rule: Enforces the legal mandate of at least 3 founding members prior to registration (§11 GenG).
  • Board Suitability Check: Verifies age requirements (18+) and mandatory share ownership for board officers.
  • Statute Verification Wizard: Analyzes uploaded statutes for mandatory legal clauses including voting rules, exit notice periods (Kündigungsfrist), and dissolution provisions.

2. GenG Settings & Statutory Parameters​

Under Settings > GenG Parameters, Coop-Admins configure statutory business rules:

  • Nominal Share Value (€): Set fixed nominal value per share (e.g. €100.00 or €500.00).
  • Maximum Shares per Member: Define optional statutory limits on individual shareholdings.
  • Notice Period for Exit (Kündigungsfrist): Set legal exit notice windows (e.g. 6 months to end of financial year).
  • Voting Power Rules: Configure default 1-Member-1-Vote (Kopfstimmrecht) or statutory multi-vote allocations.

3. Proposals Management​

Members and board officers can submit formal cooperative proposals:

  • Receiving Member Proposals: View incoming project, budget, or statute amendment proposals submitted by members.
  • Proposal Review: Board officers evaluate feasibility and attach financial impact summaries.
  • Escalation to Assembly: Convert approved proposals directly into official General Assembly agenda items.

4. Notice Board​

The internal Notice Board allows Coop-Admins to broadcast official announcements:

  • Post statutory assembly notices, quarterly financial updates, or board decisions.
  • Select target audience: All Members, Board Only, or Specific Committees.
  • Track view counts and member engagement metrics.
