Section 19 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code permits coercive assistance only from the corporate debtor's personnel, promoters, or other persons associated with management, and only where the information sought is shown to be necessary for CIRP purposes and within the recipient's possession. A former statutory auditor, being an independent professional and not ordinarily part of management, could not be compelled on that basis to furnish documents, continue audit work, or issue a no-objection resignation.
