Financial Consultant for the Farm Debt Mediation Service (FDMS) in Manitoba

Description

The FDMS Administrator will assign a financial consultant and a mediator to work with the farmer through the mediation process. Confidentiality is extremely important to the quality and effectiveness of the service. Information obtained from the farmer and their creditor(s) is used for the sole purpose of mediation and is shared only among the parties involved in the mediation process. The financial consultant will conduct a site visit, inventory all the farmer’s assets, create financial statements of the farming operation, develop a recovery plan for the purpose of reaching a financial arrangement between the farmer and their creditor(s), and attend mediation meeting(s). When the farmer and their creditor(s) agree upon a solution, the mediator will draw-up an arrangement.
