David Bowers : Courses and Seminars
Financial Accounting for Lawyers
LAWS 79201
The seminar is presented from the perspective of a practicing lawyer who must apply an understanding of accounting principles to provide relevant and accurate legal advice. While the seminar focuses on the fundamentals such as the balance sheet, the income statement and the statement of cash flows, it concentrates on their application in typical legal practice settings such as contracts, mergers and acquisitions, shareholder reporting, regulatory reporting, bankruptcy and litigation. The seminar also includes an intense discussion of financial accounting irregularities and financial fraud.
The grade for the seminar will rely heavily on class participation, as well as mid-term and final exam results.
