Introduction to the Qualification
The Professional Body
The Certificate of Proficiency in Insolvency (CPI) is a
qualification awarded by the Insolvency Practitioners Association
(IPA). Candidates who are successful in the CPI exam are entitled
to apply for affiliate membership of the Insolvency Practitioners
Association.
What is the qualification?
The CPI is an intermediate insolvency examination which is
recognised both within and outside the insolvency profession as a
test of competence in insolvency administration. The qualification
can be taken either in order to provide and then demonstrate a
solid grounding in the key areas within insolvency and corporate
recovery, or as a stepping stone towards the Joint Insolvency
Examinations Board (JIEB) exams.
The CPI examination is held once a year, in June. It consists of
one three-hour paper which examines the entire syllabus by a mix of
multiple choice, short form and longer essay questions. Questions
can contain either discursive or numerical elements, and often
contain both.
Who is the qualification for?
The CPI qualification is ideal as a target for those starting
out in the insolvency profession, whether working for a firm of
accountants or lawyers. It provides a basic grounding in the law
and practice relating to the main insolvency procedures in the UK.
It is suitable both for those who are working in an administrative
capacity in the profession, or those who plan to proceed to JIEB
and ultimately obtain their insolvency practitioner's
licence.
Entry requirements
Student membership of the IPA is open to anyone, whether looking
to enter or to advance their career in insolvency practice or
related business, financial, accounting or legal fields; or just
interested in knowing more about insolvency.
Short outline of the syllabus
The CPI syllabus is very broad. The key areas are:
- Liquidation
- Bankruptcy
- Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVAs)
- Administration
- Receivership
