A creditors voluntary liquidation provides an avenue for the directors and shareholders to take control of the appointment process and in choosing a liquidator to perform the winding up. However, this option will not be available once winding up proceedings have been commenced by an unsatisfied creditor in the Court. If an application is made to the Court, a court liquidator will be appointed. That person is usually chosen by the petitioning creditor.

Company liquidation involves a series of complex steps that are required by the Corporations Act and the ASIC. Those steps take time. They include the liquidator notifying the employees, creditors, secured creditors, the ATO, banks and utility providers etc of the appointment.
The liquidator is also required to collect the books and records of the insolvent Company and perform an investigation to explain the reasons why the Company failed. The findings of these investigations are reported to the creditors, by way of a Statutory Report that must be prepared and lodged within 3 months a the liquidator’s appointment and also then a report to the ASIC.
Once these reporting requirements have been satisfied, the liquidator will await clearance from the ASIC before being allowed to finalise the winding up process.
