Resources for Trustees
Debtor Compliance Referral Program

The Debtor Compliance Referral Program seeks to encourage collaboration of trustees in addressing debtor non-compliance.

Objectives of the Program:

To protect the integrity of the insolvency system by:

  • Establishing an effective process to address significant debtor misconduct or abuse of the system.
  • Supporting the need for collaboration between trustees and the OSB regarding the identification of significant debtor misconduct and the application of corrective measures.

How to refer a file

Trustees can refer files to the OSB by uploading the completed Debtor Compliance Referral Form in the e-filing system as a softcopy document.

Review by the OSB

The OSB will review the file referred and determine if an investigation is required.

Results of an investigation may lead to:

  • Court intervention by the OSB
  • Sending the file back to the trustee for action
  • Criminal Investigation Order
  • Closing the referral
