IAIR
Conferences - Forum for Discussion
IAIR
members meet annually at a combined Conference and
Annual General Meeting.
| At
these meetings, members: |
- Exchange
information;
- Report
on recent developments in their jurisdiction;
- Engage
in discussion about current thinking in relation
to:
- Insolvency
policy and legislation
- Practice
and administration
- Regulatory
issues
|
at
both a national and international level; and
|
- Consider
topics for detailed study and approve study
reports.
|
Observers from non-member governments are invited
to attend and to contribute to discussion.
Conferences usually run for three days and include
social events arranged by host countries. These events
provide excellent networking opportunities and assist
with the development of bilateral and multilateral
relationships.
External speakers are invited to address conference
sessions on topics of interest to members and observers.
Past speakers have included the World Bank, the Asian
Development Bank and the OECD.
Annual
General Meetings and Conferences are generally closed
to members and observersso as not to hinder a full
exchange of views on issues which may be subject
to different levels of confidentialety.
Wider
IAIR Member Roles
The objectives of IAIR include liaising with other
bodies and constituencies on common insolvency issues.
Members
were involved in a working group that developed the
Statement of Principles for Regulatory Frameworks
as part of the World Bank’s Principles and Guidelines
for Effective Insolvency and Creditor Rights Systems;
and took part in Regional Workshops held by the Bank
for developing economies in Bratislava and Mexico City.
The
next step in that initiative is the development of
a Regulator’s
Toolkit to provide a practical guide to the design
and implementation of regulatory
frameworks. IAIR is co-ordinating detailed procedure
and practice information from members' different
systems
of regulation of private sector insolvency administration.
Individual
members frequently host visits from other governments
looking at introducing or revising their
insolvency legislation and regulation. The IAIR web
site provides useful information about members' functions
and contacts for other governments to follow up,
as well as links to members'
own websites where more
detailed information & statistics can be accessed.
