Program Description
Assisting lenders, companies, attorneys, trustees, and/or other stakeholders in the bankruptcy, restructuring, and insolvency environment requires an understanding of legal, administrative, business economics, and economic issues; financial reporting, accounting, auditing, and income tax issues; valuation issues; and financial forensics and litigation services. These Bankruptcy, Insolvency, and Restructuring Webinars focus on work that practitioners may be called upon to perform when working in bankruptcy, insolvency, and reorganization. Specific attention is given to a distressed business's plan of reorganization, solvency and liquidation analyses, and investigating avoidance actions, preferences, and fraudulent transfers.
These Webinars will focus on issues relating to forensic financial analysis as it relates to corporate bankruptcy, reorganization, and insolvency. The Webinars analyze the current economic environment and attempt to convey why some businesses thrive while others are distressed and/or fail. Attention is given to selected chapters of the Bankruptcy Code, especially Chapter 11: Reorganization. The Webinars continue with financial reporting, accounting, auditing, and income tax issues for distressed businesses, including a study of "fresh start" accounting. The Webinars continue to study the unique issues regarding valuing distressed businesses and how valuation standards, approaches, and methods influence the valuation of non-public companies. Attendees will study the work that practitioners may be called upon to perform when working in bankruptcy, reorganization, and insolvency. Specific attention is given to the plan of reorganization of a distressed business.
Additional study is given to solvency and liquidation analyses and investigating avoidance actions, preferences, and fraudulent transfers. The Webinars conclude by addressing the issues relating to expert witness testimony in the corporate bankruptcy arena.
