Role of the Administrators



               The role of the administrators in the short term is to try and

               secure the future of some part of this business, save jobs,

               and realise funds for the credit of the company.


               “The only impact of the fraud in the short term is trying to
               understand what a true position the trading business is for the

               purpose of selling it. Once the business is sold, then the attention
               falls on the administrators or subsequently appointed liquidators,

               who will turn to how this has happened and whether any party is
               culpable. If they are culpable the question is whether any action

               should be taken to recover funds to creditors of the company.” (1)
