Developing and Managing a Litigation Services Practice
Michael G. Ueltzen Manufacturer: Harcourt Brace Professional Pub ProductGroup: Book Binding: Unknown Binding ASIN: 0156019922 |
Book Description
Litigation services is one of the fastest growing consulting areas for CPAs. An increasingly complex business world and the corresponding need by attorneys and the courts for expert assistance have expanded the role of the accountant in litigation. CPAs are called on to quantify financial issues via accountings, fraud investigations, and damages--including valuations. CPAs are also needed to explain financial transactions such as funds tracings, bankruptcy-related issues, and financing matters. The field represents an exciting and potentially profitable addition to your accounting practice.As in a traditional accounting practice, the successful CPA in this field possesses sound accounting, financial, and economic analysis skills. The litigation field and the legal environment also require creativity, quick thinking, and skillful articulation of findings in court--traits and skills not necessarily part of every CPA's portfolio.
This book explores how the CPA can effectively employ these traits and skills. It also addresses why serving as an objective expert or witness benefits current litigation clients as well as the CPA's reputation and practice.
This book explores how the CPA can effectively employ these traits and skills. It also addresses why serving as an objective expert or witness benefits current litigation clients as well as the CPA's reputation and practice.
In Developing and managing a Litigation Services Practice, the extensive personal experience of the authors is distilled into practical guidance for the novice and the experienced practitioner alike. Discussion of a particular area is made concrete and applicable by the authors' use of "practice tips," which give proven approaches and solutions to real situations encountered in a litigation services practice.
The book is divided into seven chapters: two that provide an overview of the field and the CPA's role, two that cover developing and managing a practice, and three that address a actual practice aspects--researching the case, communicating with the attorney, testifying as an expert witness, and applicable professional standards and guidance from recent court decisions. Sample engagement letters, questions, and index make this a true resource for the CPA.

Successful Mergers: Getting the People Issues Right
Marion Devine Manufacturer: Profile Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 1861973608 |
Book Description
Why so many mergers fail and what can be done to make them succeed.Worldwide merger and acquisition activity has run over $100 billion in recent years. But the M&A failure rate is highroughly half fail and the financial gains of even "successful" mergers are often neutral. Why is this the case? This book argues that the reason is because financial and strategic considerations still dominate merger negotiations and that the "soft" people issues are largely ignored in the belief that they can be sorted out later during the integration phase. In reality, however, people are the real "deal makers" and that it is only when individuals choose to commit their creativity and energy to a merger that the real synergies flow. Merger success is all about leading and managing peopleand the people issues need addressing right from the start of negotiations.
Through reference to studies of such mergers as Time Warner/AOL, Chrysler and Daimler-Benz, Compaq and Digital Equipment, and Zeneca and Astra, this book examines where companies so often get things wrong and lays out a clear course for how to get it right.

Planetary Nebulae Beyond the Milky Way: Proceedings of the ESO Workshop held at Garching, Germany, 19-21 May, 2004 (ESO Astrophysics Symposia)
Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 3540310118 |
Book Description
In the last decade extra-galactic planetary nebulae (PNe) have gained increasing importance. Improved observational capabilities have allowed fainter and fainter PNe to be studied in galaxies well beyond the Milky Way. Planetary nebulae can be detected to at least 30Mpc. They are found in galaxies of all types and also between the galaxies in nearby galaxy clusters. They are valuable as probes, both for providing the velocity of their host stars and also the evolutionary status and relation to the stellar population from which they formed.
This book contains the proceedings of a workshop held at ESO headquarters in Garching in 2004, the first meeting devoted entirely to Extra-galactic Planetary Nebulae. A wide range of topics is covered, from stellar and nebular astrophysics to galactic dynamics and galaxy clusters, making this volume a unique and timely reference of broad astrophysical interest.

Cosmic Butterflies
Sun Kwok Manufacturer: Cambridge University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0521791359 |
Book Description
Using more than 100 spectacular images from the Hubble Space Telescope, Cosmic Butterflies explores the beauty of the most mysterious celestial objects in space, planetary nebulae. The mystery begins at the end of the star's life, when it wraps itself in a cocoon by spilling out gas and dust. Sometime later, a butterfly-like nebula emerges from the cocoon and develops into a planetary nebula. These newly formed, effervescent structures are complemented by a kaleidoscope of colors emitted by glowing gases. Hovering in the gossamer of delicate streamers, the production of planetary nebula by a star is both its most momentous event and foretells its doom when its central energy runs out. In this extraordinary book, Sun Kwok, a leading international expert on planetary nebulae, details the discovery process of the creation of planetary nebulae and of the future of the Earth's Sun. Sun Kwok is Professor of Astronomy at the University of Calgary and a Canada Council Killam Fellow. His book The Origin and Evolution of Planetary Nebulae (Cambridge, 2000) is widely considered to be the definitive treatise on the subject. He serves as chairman of the Planetary Nebulae Working Group of the International Astronomical Union and has been a member of the Advisory Panel of the Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics since 1993.Customer Reviews:
Excellent.......2002-02-03
It is beautifully illustrated, with over 100 spectacular colour illustrations, and masterfully written. If you've never picked up a book on astronomy before - fear not, it is both clear and easy to follow with the way it is written. I recommend this book to all those who are fascinated by our universe.
Planetary Nebula eye candy.......2002-01-16
The text includes chapter after chapter on the beginings of planetary nebula formation, through the AGB stage, into proto-planetary infancy and finally into mature planetary nebula. The result is a colorful display of the awesome fury, if not death throe end, to a star in the december years of its life.
Dr. Kwok is both informative and a master in his field. His research is into the organic make-up of Planetary nebula. Could these deep sky wonders harbor within them the beginings of life, especially on earth, from the death of a star and its cataclysmic end? Read this book and find out.

Planetary Nebulae in our Galaxy and Beyond (IAU S234) (Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union Symposia and Colloquia)
Roberto H. Méndez Manufacturer: Cambridge University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0521863430 |
Book Description
Planetary nebulae represent the brief transition between Asymptotic Giant Branch stars and White Dwarfs. As multi-wavelength laboratories they have played a key role in developing our understanding of atomic, molecular, dust and plasma processes in astrophysical environments. The means by which their wonderfully diverse morphologies are obtained is currently the subject of intense research, including hydrodynamical shaping mechanisms and the role of binarity, stellar magnetic fields and rotation. Their contribution to the chemical enrichment of galaxies is another very active research area, as is the ever growing use of their narrow high luminosity emission lines to probe the dynamics and mass distributions of galaxies and the intergalactic media of clusters of galaxies. IAU S234 summarises the current status of research on the properties and processes of planetary nebulae, as reported in reviews and papers by leading experts working in the field.

A Modern Introduction to Probability and Statistics: Understanding Why and How (Springer Texts in Statistics)

ASIN: 1852338962 Release Date: 2007-02-01 |
Book Description
Probability and Statistics are studied by most science students, usually as a second- or third-year course. Many current texts in the area are just cookbooks and, as a result, students do not know why they perform the methods they are taught, or why the methods work. The strength of this book is that it readdresses these shortcomings; by using examples, often from real-life and using real data, the authors can show how the fundamentals of probabilistic and statistical theories arise intuitively. It provides a tried and tested, self-contained course, that can also be used for self-study.
A Modern Introduction to Probability and Statistics has numerous quick exercises to give direct feedback to the students. In addition the book contains over 350 exercises, half of which have answers, of which half have full solutions. A website at www.springeronline.com/1-85233-896-2 gives access to the data files used in the text, and, for instructors, the remaining solutions. The only pre-requisite for the book is a first course in calculus; the text covers standard statistics and probability material, and develops beyond traditional parametric models to the Poisson process, and on to useful modern methods such as the bootstrap.
This will be a key text for undergraduates in Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology and Business Studies who are studying a mathematical statistics course, and also for more intensive engineering statistics courses for undergraduates in all engineering subjects.

Book Description
The years 1942 to 1954 saw Faulkner's greatest success--and greatest inner anguish. Plagued by depression and alcohol, he knew he had more to achieve and a finite amount of time and energy to achieve it. This volume gathers four groundbreaking works from this fascinating period. "Go Down, Moses" is a haunting novel that explores the intertwined lives of black, white, and Indian inhabitants of Yoknapatawpha County. It includes "The Bear," one of the most famous works in American fiction. "Intruder in the Dust," a detective novel, is a compassionate story of a black man on trial and the growing moral awareness of a southern white boy. "Requiem for a Nun" tells the fate of a passionate, haunted Temple Drake and her tortured redemption. "A Fable," Faulkner's recasting of the Christ story set in World War I, earned him the Pulitzer Prize.

Book Description
This book gathers together twelve recent and classic essays on Faulkner's Intruder in the Dust, which he termed "a mystery-murder" whose theme concerns a "relationship between Negro and white, specifically or rather the premise being that the white people in the south, before the North or the govt. or anyone else, owe and must pay a responsibility to the Negro." These essays provide a rich set of resources to teachers who wish to assign this text, as well as to provide food for thought and discussion to individual readers and scholars of Faulkner.
