Course Description:

Keynote Speaker: Claudius Modesti, Director of Enforcement, Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB)

When lawyers and accountants  are involved in overlapping engagements and the legal and accounting issues become intertwined,  misunderstandings about the roles and responsibilities of each professional can arise – ultimately leading to serious liability issues.

Join our panelists from both the legal and accounting worlds for a full day program focusing on such issues as:

  • The role of the accounting expert and consultant
  • Mixed accounting and legal issues (e.g., Going Concern Qualification and Contingent Liabilities)
  • Corporate Governance, audit committees and auditor independence
  • Accounting standards of the SEC and FASB that are germane to both professions when they are working together or servicing the same client
  • Professional malpractice and professional liability insurance

Lunch will be provided
