Featured Seminar Topics

SOX 404 Compliance: A How-To Guide
If you're a public company accountant, you've spent more than a few hours worrying about reporting your end product and Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley. And if you work at a medium- or small-sized company, you're especially concerned about meeting the new requirements without breaking your budget. This seminar was designed with that situation in mind.

Medium- and small-sized companies don't have the resources of an IBM or Microsoft to devote to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. Nevertheless, compliance is still mandatory. This seminar provides the practical knowledge to scope, manage and complete your Section 404 requirements in a cost-effective way.

Discover how executive and steering committee support can help you organize and define the project. Learn exactly how much scoping you have to do and how to use existing systems and processes to do it. Cover documentation, key controls, testing, significant deficiencies, material weaknesses and other issues, all from the point of view of a finance professional working in a medium-or small-sized company.



Corporate Finance
Corporate finance helps create value for a company through various functions that include everything from bill paying to cash management to forecasting the value of acquisitions to investment strategies. If you're looking for a good update into the world of corporate finance and how it operates, this is the seminar you want.

You'll review the various functions performed by the corporate finance department, focusing specifically on long-term financing and investment as keys to growth. You'll understand how the department operates in relation to other departments and how its decisions directly impact profitability and shareholder value.

Here are a few of the many topics you'll review: valuation models, working capital management, short-term borrowing, debt and equity as long-term financing strategies, lease vs. buying decisions and increasing shareholder value, among others.

Due Diligence for Real Estate
A real estate project involving an office building requires a specific set of due diligence tasks. So does a multi-market condominium project, a central area retail complex or a conference/meeting facility. In short, real estate has unique due diligence requirements that are determined by the project itself. Unless you "press the right buttons," you could be in for some nasty surprises later on.

Legal, environmental and even political issues can complicate, or even kill, any real estate deal. You need to perform the necessary viability assessments as well as be aware of the kinds of information needed for your specific project. This seminar uses case studies to illustrate the skills and knowledge necessary to perform due diligence for various real estate projects and transactions.

You'll learn how to frame a real estate due diligence inquiry. You'll review financing terminology, how to structure financing to fairly spread the risks and you'll explore six basic viability assessments. You'll come away knowing how to "cover all the due diligence bases" to ensure the success of your next real estate project.
