ICAEW is the UK’s largest regulator of insolvency practitioners, offering the very best in up-to-date information, technical guidance, thought leadership and advice.

Although ICAEW has long supported IPs, we recognise the need to provide more effective, stream-lined support for members working in this growing sector. The launch of the Restructuring & Insolvency Community, steered by experts, will bring all of our restructuring and insolvency activity under one umbrella. The Community aims to:

• Advocate effectively on behalf of IPs and address issues that may impact the sector
• Provide ICAEW with a voice in the sector, particularly with government, the media and key insolvency bodies
• Develop effective support for IPs at every stage of their career, from those who are training to experienced professionals
• Develop ICAEW’s leadership role, ahead of other regulators, and provide the next generation of IPs

Who we are

The Community is led by a committee of volunteers comprising a cross-section of the IP community. It is representative of those we support – members working in small and mid-tier firms as well as the Big 4, senior professionals, their staff and those who are just beginning their insolvency career.
