What’s an Insolvency Practitioner Anyway? π€
An Insolvency Practitioner (IP) is a financial maestro authorized to manage insolvency cases such as being a $ extbf{liquidator}$, provisional liquidator, $ extit{administrator}$, $ extit{administrative receiver}$, or nominee/ supervisor under a $ extbf{voluntary arrangement}$ when a company does the financial splits.

The Required Superpowers π
To become an insolvency practitioner, you need more than just a fancy suit and shiny shoes. You have to be a part of an approved professional body! No, itβs not the Avengers this timeβthink more along the lines of the Insolvency Practitioners Association (IPA) or the Institute of Chartered Accountants (ICA). These members have gone through rigorous training, so much so that cramming for exams becomes a distant memory.
