Company Statement of Affairs
The Statement of Affair is a summary of a Company’s assets and liabilities. It states the net book value and amount expected to realise at the date of Insolvency of the business. It provides a useful source of information for both the Administrator and the creditors. And It is often referred to by lenders should directors get involved in new ventures before lending to the new company to understand how serious the previous insolvency was. The SOA may also be considered when determining whether a director should be disqualified.
Its analysis can be used to establish:
The likely return to creditors
The extent of the insolvency
Whether the directors have concealed assets from the administrator
Whether there are indications of wrongful trading
Once the administration is complete the actual performance of the administrator.
