- Thursday, 7 May 2009Individuals applying for
IVA solutions could be wise to ensure that they have not committed fraud in trying to manage their debts.
The Huddersfield Examiner reports a word of caution from insolvency trade body R3 on the process which takes place when a person is declared bankrupt or arranges
IVA help.
National president Peter Sargent tells the publication: "When an individual or a business enters a formal insolvency process such as bankruptcy or administration, one of the jobs of the appointed practitioner is to investigate the finances for any wrongdoing."
He adds that this can include fraud - but can also cover the types of "desperate measures" that people might turn to before seeking
IVA solutions.
For instance, Mr Sargent notes that some individuals might evade paying tax, or could have their "hand in the till" while at work.
Mr Sargent began serving his year-long tenure as president of R3, the Association of Business Recovery Professionals, at the end of April.
