Course Details
Designed for advising accountants, this year’s presentation we take a look behind the scenes at what an office holder has to do pursuant to Statement of Insolvency Practice 2, an overview of what must be reported to the Insolvency Service under the Company Director’s Disqualification Act and the current enforcement statistics. We also briefly cover the current hot topics.
The session is focussed on delivering useful hints and tips to accountants to ensure they mitigate any risk to their practice in the event of a client insolvency, and to mitigate client risk. We also cover the accountant’s interaction with office holders and what requirements they have to provide information. The course will aid client retention (ensuring an insolvency of a company does not prevent the directors from starting new businesses) and avoid litigation risk.
In this course Martyn Pullin covers the following topics:
- Current Insolvency and disqualification statistics
- When do statutory investigations take place and what involvement does the accountant have?
- What is involved in the office holders SIP 2 Review and what data is secured?
- Why do directors get disqualified?
- Mitigating practice and client liability including Hot Topics
