2008 insolvency statistics

These statistics are published on the basis they are provisional and unverified. Because documents about the appointment of external administrators during the last month may still be outstanding, the statistics are subject to change when these documents are lodged and processed.

Statistics for a particular month are generally published 5 weeks after the end of that month, due to the time required to gather data from various sources.
