What directors need to know about the most significant insolvency reforms in decades

What is the Insolvency Risk Factor?
The Insolvency Risk Factor is the culmination of a major data analytics programme where court data was analysed against 10,000’s recent corporate insolvencies to identify the court actions most likely to lead to future insolvencies. The IRF provides a simple statistical measure of the potential impact of a company’s court actions. For example, a company with an IRF of 10 is statistically 10x more likely to become insolvent during the next 12months than a company with no court actions.

"Our company has been a member of the BICB for over 10 years. A previous company that I worked for was also a member for approx. 15 years so my association goes back a long way. The benefits of being a member of the BICB is enormous. I simply couldn’t function in my role without it and it has saved our company many thousands of dollars in bad debts and legal costs over the years.
Their integrity cannot be questioned and I encourage all credit professionals to become members. Their data is accurate and timely which is what we need in this very challenging environment."
"We have been a member of the BICB for over ten years. Wayne and his team provide a welcoming environment. The credit information provided is timely, detailed and diversified so as to assist with determining risk levels.
The BICB covers national as well as Queensland based businesses and I would recommend the BICB as a great resource for all credit approval decision making."
