It said the appointment of liquidators would also facilitate a full and proper investigation into the reasons why the companies failed and allow recovery of any voidable or unreasonable director-related transactions.

The ASIC announcement said the 10 abandoned companies owed at least 26 employees a total in excess of $350,000 in employee entitlements.
