A practitioners guide to insolvency A General Practitioner's Guide to Insolvency
by: Paul Finn __ Published by: Butterworth
No sector of the accountancy profession has attracted more opprobrium recently than insolvency practitioners.

Frequently abused for being corporate undertakers, rather than the company doctors that the 1986 Insolvency Act intended them to be, they are an easy target, appearing to rack up substantial fees while workers are laid off and pensioners go unpaid.

But unpopularity will not make them go away - nor will the end of recession, as companies that try to make up for the lean years by trading too vigorously suffer for their hasty confidence.

This book is aimed at general accountants whose clients make just this mistake. The groundwork of insolvency is vital, as faulty procedures can be heavily punished in the law courts. This publication will give that vital information and will leave diligent readers - and diligent they will have to be, for A General Practitioner's Guide is a closely written textbook - with a comprehensive knowledge of insolvency.

If the prospect of your clients going bust gives you cold sweats, this is the textbook to ease your fears.
