Lunchtime Seminar - 2009 IPANZ Gen-i Public Sector Excellence Award WinnerThe Microsoft Award for Excellence in Networked GovernmentMinistry of Economic Development, for the ‘Insolvency Law Reform Implementation Project’.Speaker: Robyn Cox, Insolvency and Trustess Services Date & Time: Wednesday 17 March 2010, 12.30pm – 1.30pm The Insolvency Law Reform Implementation Project addresses the needs of consumer debtors by providing more options and introducing the ‘No Asset Procedure – bankruptcy light option’. The team has developed a system that will assist New Zealanders to recover from the effects of the credit crunch by using modern registry technology and redefining the boundaries between public and private activities in the course of administration of insolvent estates. The reform of Insolvency law in 2006 provided the opportunity for an integrated set of services for debtors in problem situations, ranging from support for consumer and budget advisers to formal insolvency processes. The project provides consistent case management, online services to debtors and businesses e.g. online filing and access to account details, as well as support and advice from a call centre and regional offices. The introduction of these integrated processes has enabled the Insolvency Service to deal with a workload which has increased sharply as the recession developed, with no increase in resources. Feedback from private sector users has been very positive.
