A creditors report is a statutory report which must be prepared and issued to creditors within 3 months of the liquidation of a company. The creditors report will contain both financial and non-financial information.
The purpose of this report is to provide creditors with:

• Details of the estimated assets and liabilities of the Company;
• Details of the inquiries the liquidator has made relating to the winding up of the Company to date;
• Details of further inquiries the liquidator intends to make relating to the winding up of the Company that may need to be undertaken;
• Details of what happened to the business of the Company;
• An update on the progress of the liquidation;
• Details on the likelihood of creditors receiving a dividend before the affairs of the Company are fully wound up; and
• Details on the possible recovery actions.

A copy of the report must be lodged with ASIC. You can obtain a copy by paying a relevant fee and searching the ASIC registers or if you are a creditor the liquidator will provide it free of charge.

Other reports

The liquidator must also prepare and submit a confidential report with ASIC but this report will not be released to creditors.
