3 Foreword Welcome to AiB s annual stakeholder event Welcome to our first annual stakeholder events since the Bankruptcy and Debt Advice (Scotland) Act came into force and the roll out of the BASYS IT system. Today gives us an opportunity to look at how things have gone thus far together, the work we already have in hand to make things better, and to discuss where we need to turn our attention next. You are much closer to the frontline the people with unsustainable debts we are all trying to help and may well have a better idea of how all the recent reforms are working in practice for debtors for creditors, and for all of us working in the sector. So these events are designed not only to allow you to hear from us but, more importantly, let us hear from you. Through this open dialogue, I believe we are better placed to provide an effective service focused on meeting the needs of the people of Scotland. On behalf of myself and my staff, I would like to welcome you to our 2016 event. Dr Richard Dennis The Accountant in Bankruptcy & Agency Chief Executive

5 Event Brief Stakeholder Event What is the aim of these events? To engage with you, our stakeholders, through workshop sessions, to seek your feedback on the work we do and discuss how we can work better together. Workshops Our workshop sessions will focus on AiB s key activities and relate to the areas we expect will have a significant impact on you. The workshop sessions will focus on: General Bankruptcy: The introduction of the Bankruptcy and Debt Advice (Scotland) Act 2014 and a new case operating system has seen significant changes in the way bankruptcy cases in Scotland are administered. This session will look at changes post-implementation, gauging success and improvements to streamline the processes as well as general bankruptcy topics. Bankruptcy Debtor Contribution Orders: One of the key elements of the recent bankruptcy reforms saw the introduction of a single Common Financial Tool. The purpose of the tool was to introduce a statutory process to record income and expenditure and facilitate the calculation of contributions in statutory debt solutions. This session will explain how the Debtor Contribution Order process works, provide insight on lessons learned so far and allow attendees to have their say on their experiences of working with the new procedure. Debt Arrangement Scheme (DAS): Over the past few years, the DAS case management system DASH and the DAS regulations have been updated to allow DAS to become a revolutionary and popular product. This workshop will be an interactive open floor discussion, looking at DAS in general, statistics and trends, recent and future IT upgrades, case studies, and will give an opportunity for attendees to feed back to the team directly on their experiences of DAS. Trust deeds: Following the introduction of the protected trust deeds (PTD) regulations and the ASTRA case management system in November 2013, we have been working to refine and improve the PTD process. This session will discuss the on-going development of ASTRA, how subsequent legislative changes have affected the PTD regulations, and provide guidance to help you get the most from ASTRA and other relevant topics. NB: Delegates have been assigned to workshops according to indicated highest to lowest preference where possible.
