The IPA offers three categories of individual membership for those working in insolvency practice, those new to the profession, and those working in insolvency-related fields. Select the category that best reflects your experience and career stage.
For those looking to take an insolvency exam or to advance their career in insolvency practice or related business, financial, accounting or legal fields; or just interested in knowing more about insolvency.
For those who have passed the CPI, CPPI, or JIE, or are working in insolvency related fields, or who have made a contribution to the knowledge and practice of insolvency.
The IPA is the only recognised professional body exclusively concerned with insolvency, looking to set the agenda for the future of the profession and promoting its reputation among its many and diverse stakeholders. It leads in the profession and in the media on current issues such as individual voluntary arrangements and debt management companies; better regulation and the increasing focus on efficiency, value and outcomes for creditors; standards and the need to revisit and modernise statements of insolvency practice; and “whistleblowing”.
