Unlike the accountancy profession, there aren't a wealth of options for insolvency-specific podcasts out there. However, several accountancy podcasts also cater for other financial occupations such as insolvency services. One of the best podcasts we've come across is the Insolvency and Business Law advice podcast but there are also other podcasts you might find valuable if you deal with companies and people in financial distress on a daily basis. One such podcast is the Debtmatters podcast which provides valuable insights into the domestic and corporate debt landscape and will help you predict insolvency trends.

The insolvency profession is one of the most paper-stubborn sectors we've come across and we understand why. IPs have to deal with so much information and data every single day that it can feel impossible to keep it all in order. Quality document management can make all the difference, though.
Virtual Cabinet insolvency document management software helps firms overcome a number of challenges including efficient file management. Insolvency professionals are usually drowning in data like case files, documents, client communication, administration, sensitive data, forms and contracts. It all adds up to a veritable mountain of documents and time wasted trying to tame the chaos. Sound familiar? we're here to help. Find out how VC can make your insolvency business more productive and organised while keeping you inspection-ready.
If you work as an insolvency practitioner or restructuring specialist then you'll likely need a reliable place you can go for the latest insolvency news and personal and company insolvency statistics so you don't waste your precious time shopping around for information. Some reputable organisations that provide support and guidance for IPs are gated though, so you can only access them for a subscription fee. Some of the places you can rely on to be a free source of reputable Insolvency-related content are The Gazette online, TRI Strategy and Credit Connect.
