ABI Live Webinars

PRESENTED BY THE BUSINESS REORGANIZATION COMMITTEE
This webinar will address the increasingly significant topic of how to maximize the value of customer data and intellectual property in chapter 11 cases. In particular, the panelists will address the importance of adding intellectual property and customer data to a company’s pre-bankruptcy “checklist,” value maximization best practices, the role of consumer privacy ombudsmen and governmental entities in connection with sales under Section 363, and potential privacy and other pitfalls faced by debtors in chapter 11 cases.

From selection of the right forensic accountant all the way through trial, the interaction between lawyers and forensic accountants can make or break a case. This webinar will discuss the practical considerations and dynamics between the two types of professionals during all phases of a case. Defining their roles in the midst of the ever-changing needs of a case can be challenging, and lawyers and forensics accountants must work side by side in detecting and proving fraud.

This is the second of three webinars stemming from ABI's recently published book Fraud and Forensics: Piercing Through the Deception in a Commercial Fraud Case. Each webinar takes an in-depth look at areas of specialty, challenge and reward for forensic accountants and the professionals who work with them in commercial fraud cases. The third webinar will be:
