More on Bankruptcy

A receivership is a ministerial relationship where an individual is appointed to accomplish or oversee particular tasks or processes typically defined by a court.

Appointing the correct person to handle your company’s tangible or intangible assets is a major decision. Handling investigations, monitoring processes and acting as a neutral party in a contested situation are all responsibilities Withum can fill as a receiver or as the accountants to the receiver in any case.

Assignment for the benefit of creditors (ABC) is a state insolvency process utilized by businesses to liquidate and satisfy the claims of creditors.

This process does not fit every situation and does not have some of the protections accorded in a federal bankruptcy filing. In situations where it is appropriate, our professionals can work with you to wind down the business, address tax matters and coordinate with the assignee to liquidate and resolve creditor’s claims.

A Special Fiscal Agent (SFA) is a form of receivership tasked with managing finances where there are allegations of impropriety, and the parties have lost confidence in the legacy processes.

The nature of the impropriety is not always evident. Having experts with backgrounds in investigations and analysis as well as accounting makes us the perfect solution to helping you to understand the cause of the issue and give oversight and management of your financial controls.
