Free Seminar Highlights Key Issues in Accountant Liability
Some of the potential liability challenges faced by accountants are as old as the profession itself. But as the topics at a free seminar sponsored by LeClairRyan's Boston office amply illustrate, emerging issues in accountant liability often seem ripped right from today's headlines.
Topics at the June 17 seminar, which runs from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Westin Waltham, include explorations of liability issues that have emerged in the wake of the Bernard Madoff Ponzi-scheme scandal, as well as the collapse of Collateralized Debt Obligations during the sub-prime mortgage crisis. LeClairRyan attorneys and their peers will also explore hot topics in the rapidly changing field of employment law, and review key trends in accountant liability that emerged in 2010. Registration for the event, titled "Charting a New Course: New and Familiar Legal Directions on Accountant Liability," ends June 14.
