Description
Litigation support services is a relatively new lucrative service for CPA's. Small, medium, and large firms are all looking to develop in this area. This book enables accountants to enhance their litigation skills, including the finer points of their roles in trial preparation and testimony presentation, deposition, direct examination, and cross-examination. This core volume (ISBN 0471-403091) is supplemented annually. The 2002 Supplement (ISBN 0471-41932X) includes three new chapters on: Challenges to the Admissibility of Financial Expert Witness Testimony; Compensating Plaintiff for Asynchronous Payments; and Event Study Methods: Detecting and Measuring the Security Price Effects of Disclosures and Interventions. This supplement updates the core volume, "Weil/Litigation Services Handbook: The Role of the Financial Expert, Third Edition" (ISBN 0471-403091).
