    Good day,

    If members and shareholders are one in the same…which of them can request a compulsory winding up of a company?

    There is an ACCA question on Specimen paper that asked :
    Which of these can not request compulsory winding up :

    Directors
    Members
    Secretary of State
    Creditors

    And members was the correct answers …i’m a bit confused kindly clarify, thank you.
