Directive No. 1R5, Counselling in Insolvency Matters, published on October 28, 2019 by the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy (OSB), comes into force today.
Directive No. 1R5 introduces a modern insolvency counselling curriculum and delivery model, which seeks to reduce the administrative burden on LITs while improving the quality of Insolvency Counselling Sessions.
LITs will have:
- greater flexibility in assigning counselling to BIA Insolvency Counsellors registered against their licence; and
- the ability to tailor the counselling to the individual bankrupt or consumer debtor’s needs.
A reminder that the new BIA Insolvency Counselling Curriculum is now available along with the Insolvency Counsellor Training Package. Please find links to the materials on the OSB’s website below:
