The work can vary from acting as an independent chief executive or non-executive director to help directors turn a business around financially and operationally; at the other end of the spectrum, as licensed insolvency practitioners, ABC can be asked to supervise formal procedures to recover funds for creditors and wind-up companies and individuals' estates.

ABC is increasingly asked to advise on corporate reconstruction, turnaround and workouts (a workout is a creditor-led, rather than a debtor-led, process) well before any formal state of insolvency is reached.
