Frequently asked questions

What is a solvency opinion in bankruptcy litigation?

Experts evaluate whether an entity could pay debts as they came due or had unreasonably small capital near the transfer date, using cash-flow and balance-sheet evidence tied to the operative legal test.

How do experts trace preferential transfers?

Experts follow cash from debtor accounts to creditors, reconcile to invoices and security interests, and document whether statutory defenses such as subsequent new value may apply.

Can accounting experts support cash collateral motions?

Yes. Experts model weekly cash flows, critical vendor needs, and collateral pools to inform first-day and ongoing cash collateral stipulations in Chapter 11.

What credentials are common in insolvency disputes?

CPAs with restructuring experience, and sometimes CIRA or CTP credentials, frequently testify on solvency and claims. Independence from the debtor's management team is essential.
