ABSTRACT: ACMS is a database
that stores records on bankruptcy cases, including case identifiers,
estate details, and a history of case hearings, reports, pleadings,
appointments, and fees.
PURPOSE: ACMS was designed to manage
bankruptcy cases filed throughout the United States and to
ensure that cases are administered in accordance with the
Bankruptcy Code. The system is used to provide information
to the U.S. Trustees on case status, hearing dates, names
of the trustee and attorney assigned and other data. It is
also used to provide a variety of accounting and management
reports.
ACCESS CONSTRAINTS: Access to
this data is limited to employees within the United States
Trustee Program in order to perform their official duties.
Administrative, physical, and technical safeguards, such as
user IDs and passwords, are in place to protect the integrity
of the data.
USE CONSTRAINTS: Users of the ACMS will
be restricted to only those privileges necessary to perform
assigned tasks.
AGENCY PROGRAM: The U.S. Trustee Program
is charged with promoting the efficiency and protecting and
preserving the integrity of the bankruptcy system. ACMS is
one of the tools utilized to accomplish this mission.
SOURCES OF DATA: Data contained in ACMS
is obtained from bankruptcy petitions filed by the debtor
with the bankruptcy court as well as actions taken by the
Bankruptcy Courts and the Office of the U.S. Trustee.
