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 prepare a supplementary s533 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 (RG 109).

See Assetless administration fund for more information and to download RG 109.

Please note that these guidelines are effective as of 26 November 2009 and supersede the previous guidelines issued on 21 December 2007 which became effective as of 1 January 2008.

Accordingly you should now refer to these guidelines when considering future AA Fund applications.

Your ongoing obligations
