Insolvency Practitioner
Our coverage on Insolvency Practitioners focuses on the pivotal role these licensed professionals play in managing financial distress and formal insolvency procedures across the UK. Accountancy Today reports on regulatory developments, including oversight by Recognised Professional Bodies (RPBs) such as the ICAEW, ICAS, and the Insolvency Practitioners Association, under the supervision of the Insolvency Service . We analyse the responsibilities of insolvency practitioners in roles like administrators, liquidators, and supervisors of voluntary arrangements, as well as their obligations to creditors and adherence to ethical standards. Our editorial also examines the impact of legislative changes, such as the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020, on insolvency practices. This coverage provides accountants, legal professionals, and business leaders with insights into the evolving landscape of insolvency practice in the UK.
