Help in obtaining books, records and RATA
You can get help from ASIC if officers do not hand over company books and records or submit RATA (reports as to affairs).
Deeds of company arrangement involving a creditors trust
If you are appointed under Part 5.3A as a voluntary administrator or deed administrator read our guide Regulatory Guide 82 External Administration: Deeds of company arrangement involving a creditors trust.
Assetless administration fund
We have issued a guide for registered liquidators appointed in a creditors’ voluntary winding up or a court-ordered winding up, who are seeking funding from the Assetless Administration Fund to carry out an investigation and report.
Key changes have been made to the Assetless Administration Fund (the 'AA Fund') and these have been implemented into the new Regulatory Guide 109 Assetless Administration Fund: funding criteria and guidelines.
Please note that these guidelines are effective as of 1 January 2008 and supersede the previous Stage 2 guidelines issued in June 2006.
Accordingly you should now refer to these guidelines when considering future AA Fund applications.
