Revisions to Individual Voluntary Arrangement figures
Statistics on individual voluntary arrangements (IVAs) and total individual insolvencies have been revised back to Q2 2011, following a data cleansing exercise undertaken by the Insolvency Service. This has, in the main, consisted of removing duplicate records from the IVA data. A separate table showing the scale of revisions accompanies this statistics release. IVA statistics will be revised in future publications, in accordance with the Insolvency Service’s revisions policy.
