Consultants’ Training Institute™ Financial Forensics, Litigation Consulting, and Expert Witness Catalog Benchmark Training and Certification in the Accounting and Financial Consulting Profession's Hottest Growth Niches

The Consultants’ Training InstituteTM (CTITM) is comprised of leading experts in the fields of business valuation, financial litigation, financial forensics and forensic accounting, mergers and acquisitions, healthcare valuation and consulting, and a variety of other related business consulting disciplines.

As the most widely respected professional training organization, the CTI combines hundreds of years of practitioner experience with academic insights to produce benchmark training and certification programs in the accounting and financial consulting industry’s hottest growth niches. The CTI’s greatest contribution to the valuation and business consulting industries is our certification programs offered in conjunction with the National Association of Certified Valuators and AnalystsTM (NACVA®) and numerous partners.

Financial Forensics and Litigation Consulting Fourteen years ago, the CTI introduced a certification program through its partner, the Financial Forensics InstituteTM (FFITM), called the Master Analyst in Financial ForensicsTM (MAFFTM) (formerly known as the Certified Forensic Financial AnalystTM [CFFATM]). This popular program over the years has been expanded to offer practitioners seven different specialization paths

to the MAFF designation: Economic Damages; Matrimonial Litigation; Bankruptcy, Insolvency, and Restructuring; Business Valuation in Litigation; Business and Intellectual Property Damages; Forensic Accounting; and Fraud Risk. These paths have common underpinnings yet with their own unique set of dynamics, which sets the MAFF apart from financial forensics programs that are more generalized. The FFI also partners with the American Institute for Expert Witness Education (AIEWETM) to offer practitioners several expert witness skills development workshops, open to expert witnesses from all walks. Finally, NACVA is proud to have been chosen by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants® (AICPA®) to develop and deliver training for their Certified in Financial Forensics (CFF®) credential holders and candidates. These educational programs are presented by a team of nationally recognized financial forensic experts who are leaders in their respective fields.

Consultants' Training Institute—Financial Forensics, Litigation Consulting, and Expert Witness Catalog

Co-Sponsored by the National Association of Certified Valuators and Analysts and the Financial Forensics InstituteTM You need look no further than Accounting Today’s annual Top 100 niche survey to know that the linchpin of professional and practice development is specialization: growth by niche development is cited year in and year out on the radar of the accounting and financial consulting industry titans.

NACVA’s Financial Forensics InstituteTM (FFITM) was established over 12 years ago in partnership with some of the nation’s top minds and authorities in forensic accounting, law, economics, valuation theory, expert witnessing, and support fundamentals to offer practitioners unparalleled and highly comprehensive training and certification in all facets of forensic financial consulting which led to the Certified Forensic Financial AnalystTM (CFFATM) credential.

Master Analyst in Financial Forensics™ (MAFF™)

Most recently, and effective April 12, 2013, the Certified Forensic Financial Analyst (CFFA) was changed to Master Analyst in Financial ForensicsTM (MAFFTM). The new MAFF name will elevate the perception of who and what our members stand for to a higher status than before, and the MAFF credential/designation makes the statement that when it comes to financial forensics, credential holders are the “Masters” of this field. Anyone who has taken the training and passed the exams surely knows this fact. This change will help designees set themselves apart from the competition as it does not conflict with any other certification or label connected to our industry.

The MAFF designation offers practitioners seven different pathways to acquire specialized training and credibility necessary for practicing in the financial forensics profession. These areas have their own set of dynamics, including legal code sections, case law, and other variables, which set them apart from other areas of forensics and litigation. The educational programs are presented by leaders in their respective fields and offer an educational track leading to the MAFF credential.

Seven Specialty Tracks to Obtain the MAFF Credential 1. Economic Damages

5. Business and Intellectual Property Damages

This specialty program requires attending the five-day MAFF Workshop and its Economic Damages specialty training (see page 2). This specialty track of the MAFF curriculum focuses on the foundations and fundamentals of business damages measurement, including alternative approaches and methodologies, notable code sections and case law, foundational evidence and research sources, and reporting guidelines and strategies embraced by the most effective business damages experts.

2. Matrimonial Litigation

This specialty program requires attending the five-day MAFF Workshop and its Matrimonial Litigation specialty training (see page 4).

Fundamentals cover the entire process of matrimonial litigation support, including determining support, valuing assets, and distribution of assets.

Covered within this arena are valuation of marital assets, including closely held business and stock options, taxes for divorce and distribution, asset distribution, and practice management issues.

This specialty program requires attending the five-day Business and Intellectual Property Damages Workshop (see page 10). This Workshop is an intensive, five-day program focusing upon the legal foundations, methodology, best practices, and current trends in business damages and infringement of patents, trademarks, copyrights, and other intellectual property.

This specialty program will be available only in self-study format beginning in the Fall of 2013. The Fraud Risk Management track of the MAFF (see page 13) offers a comprehensive understanding of fraud risk management, from identification of an organization’s fraud risk to provision of practical tools to address them.

Program Description: Financial forensics experts are often typically called upon in these matters to review and analyze the underlying foundational evidence and measure the lost profits and other related damages. For an expert’s analysis and conclusions to survive the rigors of the litigation environment, the expert’s work must be within the realm of conventional damages theory and be based upon generally accepted approaches and methods of damages measurement. In addition, the calculation of lost profits and other recoverable business damages are typically governed by federal, state, or other jurisdictional code sections and case law.

This Economic Damages track of the MAFF curriculum focuses upon the foundations and fundamentals of economic damages measurement, including alternative approaches and methodologies, notable code sections and case law, foundational evidence and research sources, reporting guidelines, and strategies embraced by the most effective economic damages experts.

The common theme of the week’s activities will be a case study. Attendees will work in teams developing their expert analysis, preparing their expert reports and exhibits focusing on their selected specialty area while taking the matter through deposition and trial. The culmination of the program will be a live jury trial in which participants will work with seasoned trial attorneys and view jury deliberations via live video and audio feed. Proctored exams will be administered on the day following the jury trial.

Day 1: Legal Theory and Case Law This course will help explain the legal theories underlying various types of litigation, including the key statutes and case law that define the scope of damages. Instruction will also cover the Federal Rules of Evidence and report preparation under Federal Rule 26(a)(2)(B).

Day 2, 3, and 4 AM: Economic Damages Financial experts are retained, among other areas, to perform, review, or opine on damage calculations. Different legal theories allow for different measures of damages. This specialty module will explore the accepted approaches used for the various types of economic damages, as well as the accepted methodologies of damages calculations. Focus of the curriculum will be on lost profit calculations, lost business value versus lost profits, and accounting for different industry and loss scenarios. The instructors will examine models and cases used in the measurement and presentation of economic damages, including economic and industry data. They will also provide an understanding of the integration of statistical and economic concepts into the formation of damages models.

"Although I've been valuing economic damages for over 17 years, this was the first formal training I've had on the subject. It is an outstanding program.

I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. The jury trial was certainly the highlight of the week. Watching a live jury deliberation and seeing the jurors go from one extreme to the next was incredible."

Day 5: The Dynamics of Trial—Expert Testimony and Juror Perspectives The culmination of the Workshop’s activities will be a live jury trial in which attendees will serve as expert witnesses who will be presented and crossexamined by local trial lawyers. Upon conclusion of the testimony, jurors will conduct deliberations, which will be observed by the attendees via real-time video and audio feed. Once the jurors have reached their verdict, they will return to the courtroom/classroom where there will be an open discussion of the trial. The jurors will provide their perspectives on the testimony and credibility of the expert witnesses. This exchange allows for an open dialogue between the attendees, jurors, and program faculty.

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Prepare for trial with retaining counsel n Prepare counsel with substance for effective cross-examination of the opposing expert n Deliver credible and persuasive effective trial testimony n Survive cross-examination n Communicate effectively with judges and jurors n Explain the process that judges and jurors employ in deliberations and arriving at their verdict

Who Should Attend: CPAs, valuation experts, economists, and other financial professionals who render services designed to assist in the resolution of legal disputes involving financial matters. The Workshop is designed to serve the educational needs of financial professionals rendering expert consulting services in connection with legal matters involving economic damages, disputes over business valuation, intellectual property, marital dissolution, accounting issues, fraud, and any matter where financial determinations are required. This training is geared towards the seasoned practitioner and utilizes state-of-the-art training techniques to maximize learning and retention. Less seasoned practitioners have much to gain also, because this training—challenging as it is—will broaden their perspectives and tune their skills for working effectively with legal professionals.

Program Description: Business valuation professionals often find themselves drawn into disputes over the value of business interests. Minority and oppressed shareholder disputes, damage to business value, eminent domain, and failed business combinations are some of these situations calling for the expertise of the seasoned business valuation analyst. The Business Valuation in Litigation track of the MAFF curriculum focuses upon the dynamics of business valuation conclusions and calculations in the context of litigation, controlling professional standards, notable case law, differing approaches to reporting in litigation, traditional and situation specific standards of value, and other key issues impacting business valuation in litigation.

The common theme of the week’s activities will be a case study. Attendees will work in teams developing their expert analysis, preparing their expert reports and exhibits focusing on their selected specialty area while taking the matter through deposition and trial. The culmination of the program will be a live jury trial in which participants will work with seasoned trial attorneys and will view jury deliberations via live video and audio feed. Proctored exams will be administered on the day following the jury trial.

Day 1: Legal Theory and Case Law This course will help explain the legal theories underlying various types of litigation, including the key statutes and case law that define the scope of damages. Instruction will also cover the Federal Rules of Evidence and report preparation under Federal Rule 26(a)(2)(B).

Day 2, 3, and 4 AM: Business Valuation in Litigation In this specialty module, attendees will gain an understanding of the legal environment in which valuation experts practice and the practical application of business valuation in various types of legal disputes. Attendees will also expand their knowledge of professional standards and focus on developmental and reporting standards as they apply under court rules and procedures. The curriculum will also focus on the importance of site visits, tips and techniques to employ reviewing the opposing expert’s report, why a critique of the opposing expert may not be enough, and what to do when the opposing expert is bound by different standards. Discussion will also address how to assist counsel with document requests and how to resolve issues dealing with a counsel who doesn’t understand business valuation.

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Identify standards of value and approaches peculiar to shareholder disputes and other related litigation-based valuations n Apply legal concepts relating to business valuation to their professional engagements n Explain professional standards governing business valuation experts in litigation engagements n Apply professional standards in the litigation environment n Write an effective valuation report applicable to litigation engagements n Identify the weaknesses of valuation reports in the litigation environment n List principles of effective communication in litigation n Apply litigation and communication skills in delivering deposition and trial testimony n Describe the dynamics of litigation in business valuation matters

Program Description: The Master Analyst in Financial ForensicsTM (MAFF TM) Workshop: Business and Intellectual Property Damages is an intensive five-day program focusing upon the legal foundations, methodology, best practices, and current trends in business damages and infringement of patents, trademarks, copyrights, and other intellectual property. The Workshop is based on Nancy Fannon’s The Comprehensive Guide to Lost Profits Damages for Experts and Attorneys, the preeminent book in the industry on business damages, which is included in the cost of registration (a retail value of over $300). Through case analysis, attendees will have the opportunity to identify and apply the most appropriate methodology in the analysis and formulation of damages opinions from the perspectives of both plaintiff and defendant. Attendees will learn how to build their damages analysis in a manner that will withstand the most rigorous challenges.

Days 1, 2, and 3: Advanced Concepts in Business Damages The first three days of the Workshop are based on Nancy Fannon’s The Comprehensive Guide to Lost Profits Damages for Experts and Attorneys, with contributing author Rebekah Smith, the preeminent book in the industry on business damages (the book is included in the cost of registration). During the three days, the attendee will refresh themselves on basic economic damages concepts and then delve deeper into more advanced topics such as the differences between lost profits and loss of business value as well as understanding when it is appropriate to apply one or both methods. This class will also explore how legal theories, code sections, and case law govern business damages. Advanced concepts, such as how to conduct qualitative and quantitative analyses that will survive the court’s scrutiny; how revenue and profit projections can be impacted by risk; how business interruption insurance and damage claims collide; how to discount damage calculations, including the court’s view on discounting; how to prove new business damages; and how to identify other industry-specific issues that impact the damage calculation will be covered. Other topics and techniques will be discussed such as how motions can impact the financial expert and ways to protect oneself from Daubert challenges as well as other motions in limine. A case study will be used to identify and analyze the topics discussed clarifying subjects in question.

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Apply quantitative methodologies in the measurement of damages n Apply damages methods and models appropriate to the facts and circumstances (and the governing law) n Apply advanced damages concepts in preparing a damage calculation that will withstand scrutiny n Explain industry specific issues that may impact damage claims n Evaluate business interruption insurance and damage claims

Days 4 and 5: Intellectual Property Infringement Damages This two-day portion of the Workshop is an overview of intellectual property and forms of intellectual property damages based on portions of Nancy J. Fannon’s The Comprehensive Guide to Lost Profits Damages for Experts and Attorneys, with contributing authors Richard Hoffman and Richard F. Bero (the book is included in the cost of registration). A portion of the time will be used to discuss topical Federal Circuit decisions, key legal cases, and factors based on the fundamental Panduit and Georgia-Pacific cases, as well as recent cases addressing current issues such as the Entire Market Value Rule (EMVR) and comparable license agreements, among others. Other topics will include patent damage concepts and how valuation concepts and patented technology have an influence on determining the appropriate form of patent damages.

A variety of case studies will be used to expand these concepts as well as trademark and copyright damages issues.

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Discuss forms of intellectual property damages n Explain the similarities and differences in utility patent, design patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secrets damages n List relevant cases addressing intellectual property damages n Apply valuation concepts to intellectual property damages n Identify the basic components to address in an intellectual property damages expert report n Describe and understand the recent history of the Entire Market Value Rule (EMVR) n Recognize the relevant considerations in whether or not license agreements are sufficiently comparable

Program Description: Despite the chronic and compelling need for financial forensics and forensic accounting expertise, the accounting and financial professions have yet to embrace or even offer a cogent and comprehensive forensic accounting toolsbased methodology. That deficiency has plagued our economy…until now.

The Master Analyst in Financial ForensicsTM (MAFFTM) Workshop: Forensic Accounting AcademyTM (Academy) is the most inclusive training in forensic accounting available to date. The four-day training Academy provides a one-stop source of more than 300 tools, techniques, methods, and methodologies applicable to virtually any large or small financial matter, whether civil, criminal, or dispute.

The Academy content is designed for both financial and non-financial professionals who require sophisticated investigative and analytical skills to stay abreast of increasing civil and criminal wrongdoer duplicity. Advanced skills are essential as people and money resources diminish. Those who complete the Academy become qualified as Forensic Operators©…financial forensics-capable personnel who possess unique and specific skills, knowledge, experience, education, training, and integrity to function in the financial forensics discipline. Further, they can elect to meet other criteria to obtain the Master Analyst in Financial Forensics (MAFF) credential.

The Academy defines the financial forensics/forensic accounting profession: “The Art & Science of Investigating People & MoneyTM.” The Academy defines why: “If you understand financial forensics, you understand fraud, but not vice versa” by applying financial forensics to all aspects of the financial and non-financial communities for both civil and criminal purposes.

The Academy content focuses on immediately useable and practical skills— NOT theory. Attendees will immediately deploy their skills upon return to their responsibilities. The skills comprise the 300+ tools, techniques, methods, and methodologies embedded within a proprietary Internet-based hyperlinked methodology, i.e. FA/IM© (Forensic Accounting/Investigation Methodology©).

The 300+ financial forensics/forensic accounting tools, techniques, methods, and methodologies are offered nowhere else and in no other programs throughout the U.S. The tools, techniques, methods, and methodologies apply to all subject matters ranging from a one-chair beauty salon to a global Fortune 500 company. The tools include an introduction to (alphabetical): application of aberrant pattern

detection, behavior detection, CICO©, computer forensics, CRO (and its variants), delete windows, digital analysis (including live exercises deploying IDEA© software for Benford’s Law), document maps, entity(s) charts, event analysis, facial mapping, financial profiling, forensic financial analysis, forensic lexicology (quantifying words), full-and-false inclusion, funds velocity techniques, genograms, ICE/SCORE©, informant development, Internet sleuthing, invigilation, laboratory analysis, Likert scaling, link analysis/ root tracing MIMO, proxemics, QDE/FAB, Rules of Threes, stylometry, surveillance methods, TARTA/TITA/TDTA, undercover methods, and many others. The majority of techniques have been widely applied for decades, yet are virtually unknown to the financial community.

FA/IM© is the only financial forensics/forensic accounting methodology published by the United States Department of Justice and the American Bar Association. Attendees receive the newly published Financial Forensics Body of Knowledge, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., which serves as the course curriculum. It contains 560 pages in addition to Internet-accessible forensic reports comprising about another 400 pages. In addition, attendees receive preliminary access to the Academy’s proprietary contextually sensitive Internetbased Forensic Accounting/Investigation Methodology© via a Process Map patent-in-process.

Day 1: Differentiate and Demonstrate Forensic Accounting Mind-Set This course sets the foundation for the skill set you will use to protect your clients as well as help you and your company expand your business footprint.

The accounting profession’s legacy regarding forensic accounting will be discussed, creating a potential paradigm shift in how you look at forensic accounting and its impact on all the accounting areas you focus on in your business. Industry sources will be compared and contrasted so you will have information resources to fall back on. The FA/IM© software will be discussed as an outline that you will use to bring all the other information and tools together creating a framework that will help organize and simplify the processes you will use daily.

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Identify technical reference sources n Differentiate forensic accounting from mere “fraud” analysis n Compare and contrast industry sources n Introduce and demonstrate methodologies used on a daily basis n Differentiate the four phases, 13 stages, and five actions per stage for FA/IM©

Day 2: Utilizing Forensic Tools This course exposes you further to the forensic accounting tools and techniques you will need. Your interviewing skills will be enhanced by viewing and practicing a variety of actions that you will be introduced to. Each tool and technique you are exposed to will move you up another level on the forensic accounting ladder.

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Identify technical reference sources n Describe the techniques of the Behavior Detection/FACS n Detect when someone is lying to you

Pratt, in matrimonial cases and how to recognize, CPA, ABV, CVA, CFA, ARM, ABAR, avoid, and expose them. Such errors CFE, CFF FASA, MCBA, CM&AA, CBA include confusing discount rates with capitalization rates; applying a rate to the incorrect benefit stream; extrapolating past history instead of projecting the future; using an inappropriate beta; discounting the terminal value for the wrong number of periods; performing an excess earnings valuation that results in an unrealistic cost of capital; errors in estimating the equity risk premium, the size premium, industry risk premium, and company risk premium; and many other errors and variations.

Saturday, December 14, 2013 Sessions Avoiding Conflicts of Interest and Professional Ethics Violations in Matrimonial Business Valuation Litigation (Gregory Reagan, CPA, CFE, CVA, ABV, CFF) Knowing and adhering to professional ethics and performing professional services that are free from bias and conflicts of interest are critical to properly serving as an Expert Witness in Matrimonial Litigation. Failure to know and follow these constraints has disqualified or tarnished the opinions of many Expert Witnesses and interfered with the proper adjudication of litigation settlements. This presentation will provide “real-life” examples of how experts have gone astray to their detriment, thus providing the attendee the benefit of learning from other’s mistakes.

Learning Objectives: After completing this session, attendees will be able to: n Identify proper professional ethical conduct and recognize whether a CPA serving as an expert witness has a conflict of interest n List ethical and objectivity constraints in performing matrimonial litigation services

Identifying and Valuing Unique Marital Assets in Divorce Litigation (Gregory Cowhey, ASA, CBA) Many Americans have jobs that offer various forms of post-retirement benefits, including healthcare benefits or subsidies and access to other economic benefits. Senior and middle management executives frequently have employment agreements that include certain economic benefits if the employer is acquired or merges with another company—such benefits known as changein-control payments. Several states have addressed the valuable economic rights that were created during the marriage from such employment arrangements, with many allowing for specific valuation and division of the economic value in equitable distribution and community property division. This presentation will explore case law in USA on the topic and review techniques available to establish a value for such unique assets.

Learning Objectives: After completing this session, attendees will be able to: n Define economic rights that are often overlooked in matrimonial litigation n Discuss the legal framework for considering assets and the valuation framework for establishing a value for such assets n Create a framework to assist attendees working with counsel in structuring guidelines for dividing the economic value of assets, even in circumstances where they are not ordinarily divisible n List various forms of post-retirement benefits from a variety of employers, both public sector and private sector, as well as from governmental agencies, and not-for-profit organizations

Allocating Goodwill: Learning to Trust the Multi-attribute Utility Model (MUM) (Seth Webber, ASA, CBA, CVA and David Wood, CPA/ABV, CVA, MAFF) One of the biggest divorce issues facing valuation analysts is the allocation of goodwill. The issue is how to determine an allocation between these two types of goodwill in a systematic, defendable way. Mr. Webber and Mr. Wood will demonstrate the Multi-attribute Utility Model (MUM) as a practical, defendable approach to determining an allocation between professional and enterprise goodwill. Mr. Wood will discuss various definitions of goodwill and how those definitions impact our ability to allocate goodwill. He will also discuss MUMs underlying assumptions. Mr. Webber will then walk attendees through a case study, including testing the sensitivity of the analysis to determine the impact on the allocation.

Learning Objectives: After completing this session, attendees will be able to: n Explain the definitions and assumptions associated with the MUM framework n Recognize how to analyze the industry and subject company using the MUM framework n Determine an allocation of goodwill between professional and enterprise goodwill n Develop a defendable opinion of goodwill allocation using the MUM framework

Program Description: NACVA’s five-day Cornerstones of Financial Forensics Workshop was built upon the Content Specification Outline (CSO) underlying the AICPA®’s Certified in Financial Forensics (CFF®) Body of Knowledge. Taught by a team of nationally recognized financial forensic experts, this Workshop was developed by the NACVA to be the AICPA’s “Preferred Provider” of this training for candidates seeking the CFF credential.

“CPA Firms Need to Find New Ways to Build Revenue in Post-Recession World” is the headline of a March 21, 2013 Accounting Web article authored

by Frank Byrt. Becoming an expert in forensic accounting to detect fraud, investigating financial losses, and providing litigation support services are options cited for CPA firms to build revenue.

“Demand for forensic accounting services will remain strong over the next five years in the United States as a result of increased financial regulations and continued demand for investigative services in the wake of the recession,” reports Ken Tysiac in a September 2012 article for CPA Insider™.

Page 18

MAFF candidates can fulfill the Foundational Experience Prerequisite with attendance at this Workshop.

Advanced skills are essential as people and money resources diminish.

Day 1: Financial Forensic/Forensic Accounting Tools, Techniques, and Methodologies This course provides an introduction to tools and techniques that will help you detect fraud that is impacting your clients. Often fraud is only found after it has become a major issue for the company, but these tools are a simple way for you to run numbers on a timely basis and determine if you and your client should be concerned and pursue further. Other tools discussed simplify the forensic process making solving the fraud puzzle easier.
