I can confirm the agency holds the information that you have requested and I have provided answers to your question in the table below:

This table shows the number of Insolvency Administration Order (IAOs) recorded on our case management system (ISCIS) for each calendar year from 2015 to 2021.
If you are not satisfied with the response we have provided you and would like us to reconsider our decision by way of an internal review (IR), please contact our Information Rights Team at foi@insolvency.gov.uk or by post at:
