A Voluntary Administration (VA) is activated by the director(s) of the company when the company is insolvent, or it may become insolvent in the future. A meeting of director(s) will resolve to appoint a Voluntary Administrator, and that person must be licenced by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) as a Registered Liquidator.
The role of the Voluntary Administrator is defined by the Corporations Act and its various schedules such that the Administrator is obligated to carry out statutory tasks, including investigations into:
The financial position of the company;
The financial performance of the company;
Whether the director is proposing a Deed of Company Arrangement (DOCA);
Whether the company should be placed into Liquidation;
The quantum of creditors’ claims against the company; and
In some circumstances, control of the company could be returned to the director(s).
