9.1 BANKRUPTCY SUPERVISION<br />

KFM is also the supervisory authority in bankruptcy. Such supervision is<br />

exercised over receivers in bankruptcy as appointed by the courts.<br />

Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Act, the purpose of supervision is to ensure<br />

that receivership is conducted in accordance with the law, appropriately<br />

and so as to obtain the best possible financial outcome for creditors.<br />

In order to meet the Government’s requirements for bankruptcy supervision,<br />

SKV issued recommendations in 1999. Among them are that the<br />

supervisory authority in bankruptcy be questioned before a receiver is<br />

appointed. In addition, the receiver is to provide timely information on<br />

each bankruptcy, while supervision is to be active, systematic and focused<br />

on the essentials.<br />

The task of the supervisory authority includes making sure that receivers<br />

<strong>report</strong> both suspected <strong>crime</strong> and situations in which there is cause to issue<br />

trading prohibitions, as well as helping to improve the quality of such<br />

<strong>report</strong>s.<br />

Bankruptcies steadily decreased in number during the late 1990s. A<br />

slight increase in the first years of this decade seems to have levelled off<br />

in 2003.<br />
