Business Plus Article on Corporate Recovery
The litmus test of solvency is paying debts as they fall due. The directors of a business that continues to trade at the forbearance of creditors should be aware of their duties and responsibilities to their employees and creditors. Directors should also be aware that failure to prepare management accounts, in order to monitor the financial status of the company, can only lead to financial failure.
In a lot of insolvency cases, I have found that directors have advanced personal funds as a director’s loan. I have also found that false returns to the the Revenue Commissioners, in order to maintain positive cash flow, are common factors in today’s climate. I always find that once a company cannot trade out of its difficulties, the directors regret that they did not seek advice in relation to restructuring.
