PPSA compliance can be easy to overlook, but missing the right steps can have serious consequences for clients who hold, lease, hire or supply business assets. 

In this episode, Simon Read, Founder and Director at PPS Advisory, explains why structure alone may not protect assets in an insolvency scenario, and what smaller practices should be aware of when advising clients with asset protection structures, related-entity leasing arrangements, financed equipment, or equipment supplied to customers. 

In this episode, we cover: 

• Why PPSA compliance matters for asset protection structures
• How clients can lose ownership interests in plant, equipment or vehicles
• Which client arrangements may create PPSA exposure
• How accountants can help clients spot the issue early and seek specialist advice where needed
