Given the highly complex and regulated environment of the accounting profession, it is more important than ever for accountants and auditors to understand the scrutiny of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and state boards of accountancy. It is equally important for accountants and auditors to appreciate the wide range of claims that can be asserted in civil litigation, including federal securities claims and professional liability claims.
In the Second Edition of Accountants’ Liability published by Practising Law Institute (PLI), Foley & Lardner LLP partner and vice-chair of the firm’s Securities Enforcement & Litigation practice, Christopher Cutler, provides new insight to defend claims against, and better represent, accounting firms and their accountants and auditors. The book is available for purchase online.
