Case operations Branch (COB) is responsible for:

• the day-to-day running of core bankruptcy administration;
• award of bankruptcies on debtor applications;
• administration of the Debt Arrangement Scheme (DAS) and DAS Register;
• maintenance of the Register of Insolvencies;
• manage the external insolvency service provider contract.
• supervision of agents and trustees in the administration of bankruptcies and protected trust deed; and
• audit and determination of agent and trustee accounts.

Following a recent re-organisation COB was split into seven teams. This change has brought about a more functionalised approach to business delivery and allows greater specialisation with dedicated staff in specific teams dealing with constituent parts of our process.

The teams are:

• Accounts Team
• Case Administration Team
• Case Management Team
• Contract Operations Team
• DAS Team
• First Contact Team
• Supervision and Monitoring Team

John Cook is Executive Director of Case Operations, supported by Annette Burns.
