Forensic, Litigation, and Business Valuation Workshop - VIRTUAL

Ralph Litolff, Founder, RAL Forensics

Duncan Will, Loss Prevention Director & A&A Specialist, Camico Inc

Leave behind your engrained perspective of who you are as a CPA and the professional standards governing the performance of forensic, valuation and litigation support engagements. This presentation differs from those that focus primarily on professional standards -- it incorporates jury expectations. The presentation will help you sleep better; conduct more effective forensic, valuation and litigation support engagements; and will also improve other areas of your practice by helping you identify and address riskier engagements and risky situations. The session provides a risk management perspective gleaned from nearly 40 years handling claims and other risk management issues. 

Even when you do everything right, you can still get sued! You'll learn some risk management steps and testifying tips that can reduce or avoid professional liability exposure when practicing in these arenas.

As BVFLS professionals, we seek ways to maintain a competitive edge ... and AI is the next frontier to exploit. This session will showcase real-world examples to demonstrate how you can harness the potential of AI to better market, sell, and deliver your services (NOT value businesses or calculate damages).

Most fraud examiners and auditors are familiar with the fraud triangle and how fraudsters act. When it comes to collusion some of the assumptions in fraud detection, or the detection of material misstatements in an audit must be re-examined. Even with good internal controls, fraud by collusion is possible, so during this presentation we will understand how collusion is created. We will then explore practical tips for identifying collusion. This course is directed at both fraud examiners and auditors.
