In the wake of the massive corporate accounting scandals such as Enron, WorldCom, and Parmalat, the importance of detecting such fraud has taken on new proportions. No longer a matter reserved exclusively for accounts and financial analysts, accounting fraud is a concern of most attorneys who must be able to detect and report any suspicions of questionable reporting practices. This Continuing Legal Education (CLE/MCLE) course is designed to equip attorneys with the basic skills to determine signs of corporate accounting fraud along with guidance on what to do when confronted with such matters.
