The reforms aim to increase efficiency, reduce costs of administration and promote market competition by harmonising and aligning the Bankruptcy Act 1966 and the Corporations Act 2001.
ASIC welcomed the insolvency law reforms, and has released a consultation paper proposing to reissue its guidance for registered liquidators, reflecting the impending changes.
Consultation Paper 276 Registered liquidators: Registration, discipline and insurance requirements (CP 276) sets out the proposals for Regulatory Guide 186 External administration: Liquidator registration (RG 186) and Regulatory Guide 194 Insurance requirements for registered liquidators (RG 194).
