    However it is also possible to agree fixed fees for specific assignments or a monthly retainer to cover an agreed schedule of work or time commitment each month.

    The bank wishes to appoint investigating accountants, what can I do?

    Seek the advice of an insolvency practitioner to establish the options available to the directors. Ask the bank if you can nominate investigating accountants which are of your choice but are acceptable to the bank.
