Foreword
With the enactment of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, a new
professional avenue has been opened in the form of Insolvency professionals
(IP) who play a vital role in the insolvency and bankruptcy resolution process.
The role of IP encompasses a wide range of functions, which include
adhering to procedure of law, management as well as accounting and
finance related functions. As per the Code, the insolvency resolution
processes are to be conducted by the Insolvency Professionals, who are
required to be members of an Insolvency Professional Agency which in turn
is to be registered with the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI).
In that way Insolvency professionals form a crucial pillar upon whom rest the
effective, timely functioning as well as credibility of the entire edifice of the
insolvency and bankruptcy resolution process.
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India is conducting Limited
Insolvency Examination which is a Multiple Choice Question Examination for
the professionals with a specified experience to become Insolvency
Professionals.
I welcome the Corporate Laws & Corporate Governance Committee and
Indian Institute of Insolvency Professionals of ICAI (IIIPI) in taking this joint
initiative and bringing this publication on ‘Question Bank on IBBI Limited
Insolvency Examination’ to help the professionals in preparation of Limited
Insolvency Examination to become Insolvency Professionals.
I extend my sincere appreciation to the entire team of Committee under the
Chairmanship of CA. Sanjay Kumar Agarwal and Vice Chairmanship of CA.
