WHAT IS A REGISTERED LIQUIDATOR?
Registered Liquidators are experienced professionals, usually accountants, who are registered as a liquidator under the Corporations Act 2001. They are appointed to manage the process of winding up insolvent or failed companies. A registered Liquidator can also be appointed to wind up the affairs of a solvent company.
A registered liquidator has a wide range of duties to perform including selling assets, investigating the affairs of the company, and paying a dividend to creditors. When a liquidator is appointed to a company, the director’s powers are suspended, and the liquidator assumes control of all of the company’s affairs.
