Consultants’ Training Institute Second Quarter 2013 Catalog TM

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.

What are these niches? Accounting Today’s 2013 Top 100 Firms growth analysis lists business valuations, forensics/fraud, litigation support, and mergers and acquisitions at or near the top of its list 17 years running. Also among the top growth niches were succession planning, risk management, and bankruptcy/insolvency. What does this mean? These niches are where the top visionaries of the CPA and business consulting professions see the greatest opportunities for future growth. And the CTI—which has now trained over 31,000 practitioners—offers trenchant training programs in these disciplines.

And many others. 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.

Business Valuation The CTI currently offers three distinctive business valuation designations through its Business Valuation Certification and Training Center (BVTC): Certified Valuation Analyst® (CVA®), Accredited Valuation AnalystTM (AVA®) (recently merged into the CVA, which now remains), and Certified Business Appraiser (CBA). We are extremely proud of the fact that the CVA is the only business valuation credential accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies® (NCCA®), the accreditation body of the Institute for Credentialing ExcellenceTM (ICETM). The CTI, in partnership with the Institute of Business Appraisers (IBA), offers the business appraisal designation of Certified Business Appraiser (CBA).

The NACVA/IBA partnership not only offers members of both organizations expanded training and certification opportunities,

but NACVA members now have access to the highly acclaimed IBA Market Database, the largest source of transaction data for privately held business sales in the U.S. Financial Forensics Fourteen years ago, the CTI introduced a third 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: Business Damages; Forensic Accounting; Business and Intellectual Property Damages; Fraud Risk Management; Business Valuation in Litigation; Bankruptcy, Insolvency, and Restructuring; and Matrimonial Litigation.

The FFI also partners with the American Institute for Expert Witness Education (AIEWETM) to offer experienced 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.

Exit Planning/M&A In 2011, the CTI partnered with the Exit Planning Institute (EPI), which sponsors the four-day Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA) Credentialing Program and leads to the CEPA certification.

The CTI’s five-year partnership with the Middle Market Investment Banking AssociationTM (MMIBA®) expanded last year beyond the timely Mergers and Acquisitions Workshop (leading to the Chartered Merger and Acquisition Professional [CMAP] designation) to include the Advanced M&A Workshop for more experienced M&A professionals.

You’ll find more details on these affiliations and training programs in the pages that follow, and don’t forget to check our website to view our more than 200 webinar offerings for 2013. Be sure to make your plans now to take maximum advantage of the Early Registration Discounts—in addition to a 10 percent discount for NACVA and IBA members.

2013 Dates

Certified Valuation Analyst® (CVA®)

Accredited Valuation Analyst TM (AVA®)

Certified Business Appraiser (CBA)

The Consultants’ Training Institute’s (CTITM) five-day Business Valuation Certification and Training Centers (BVTC)—co-sponsored by the National Association of Certified Valuators and AnalystsTM (NACVA®) and the Institute of Business Appraisers (IBA)—are world renowned for being the most comprehensive and complete foundational training program teaching to the body of knowledge on how to value private business enterprises. Now being taught in seven countries, the BVTC will prepare candidates to pass any business valuation (BV) certification exam offered in the industry as well as those offered by NACVA—the Certified Valuation Analyst® (CVA®) and Accredited Valuation AnalystTM (AVA®)* designations.

The CVA and AVA are the country’s most distinguished and widely recognized BV credentials, known for the superb training and challenging examination process that leads to earning one of these prestigious credentials.

Requirements for these credentials include holding an active, valid, and unrevoked CPA license OR holding a business degree (i.e., management, economics, finance, marketing, accounting, or other business field) and/ or an MBA (masters of business administration) or higher business degree from an accredited college or university AND two years or more of fulltime or equivalent experience in business valuation and related disciplines.

For further clarification, contact Member Services at (800) 677-2009. In addition to passing a comprehensive five-hour, multiple-choice, proctored exam, both CVA and AVA applicants must successfully demonstrate that they meet NACVA’s experience requirement by completing a case study or submitting an actual and sanitized fair market value report, prepared during the last 12 months, for peer review.

Over 20,000 professionals have attended the BVTC or parts thereof, some simply for the knowledge and many (almost 10,000) to pursue the CVA, AVA, or CBA designation. Most attendees rave that this is the finest training program they have ever attended, which in a great part, is attributable to the highly experienced and well-seasoned practitioner instructor team assembled over the organization’s 21 years of existence.

Overall instructor average scores, on a scale of one to five, exceed 4.5, making the CTI the paragon of training organizations in America. More information on the Association and credentials is located in The Association brochure or by calling Member Services at (800) 677-2009.

NACVA’s CVA®/AVA® Designations are NCCA® Accredited NACVA’s Certified Valuation Analyst® (CVA®) and Accredited Valuation AnalystTM (AVA®) designations are the only valuation credentials accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies® (NCCA®), the accreditation body of the Institute for Credentialing ExcellenceTM (ICETM). The Institute for Credentialing Excellence’s mission is to promote excellence in competency assessment for practitioners in all occupations and professions. This prestigious recognition differentiates CVA and AVA credential holders as having met the most stringent standards in the industry. * Effective April 1, 2013, the AVA credential was merged into the CVA. Holders of the AVA may continue to hold themselves out as an AVA through March 31, 2014, after which they must drop the AVA appellation and use only the CVA. AVAs may adopt the CVA appellation anytime between April 1, 2013 and March 31, 2014, but may not use both appellations—they must choose one or the other.

Consultants’ Training Institute Second Quarter 2013 Catalog

Co-Sponsored by the National Association of Certified Valuators and Analysts and the Institute of Business Appraisers

Program DESCRIPTION: The Business Valuation Certification and Training Center’s (BVTC) compact five-day curriculum is comprehensive and substantive, providing value from beginning to end. The BVTC’s primary goal is to provide attendees with information that will serve as a solid foundation for their professional valuation endeavors, whether or not they plan to pursue a designation.

Attendees will also find that a sound mastery of the course contents will be of great assistance to them in their pursuit of an accreditation—be it a Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA), Accredited Valuation Analyst (AVA), or a Certified Business Appraiser (CBA). To learn more about the CBA designation, please contact IBA at (800) 299-4130. The Business Valuation Certification and Training Center is the ultimate comprehensive training experience, offering attendees expanded knowledge, networking opportunities with instructors and fellow attendees, and resources and insights that will provide a foundation for future success.

Days 1 and 2: Business Valuations— Fundamentals, Techniques & Theory (FT&T) The cornerstone of the CTI’s training, FT&T is a rigorous course on business valuation that provides the basis and framework for subsequent courses. It provides insights into every facet of valuation theory with hands-on training taking attendees from the fundamentals of the valuation process through the advanced techniques in current use. Primary focus of the sessions will be to provide the basis and framework of business valuation theory and practice.

Discussion will center upon the elements of valuation from financial and operational analysis through the methods found in the three approaches to valuation: Asset, Income, and Market. Highlights include the development of discount/capitalization rates and the application of appropriate adjustments (i.e., premiums and discounts) to the calculated value.

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Perform a financial analysis of a company as it relates to a valuation engagement n Identify an appropriate valuation approach and method for a given valuation purpose n Match a discount or capitalization rate to the appropriate benefit stream under the income approach n Identify and explain the differences in standards of value and their application in a valuation engagement

Day 3: Business Valuations—Applications and Calculations of the Income and Asset Approaches This fast-paced course is the perfect follow-up to FT&T. It builds on the applications of the Income and Asset Approaches and provides attendees the opportunity to perform numerous calculations using various methodologies for the Income and Asset Approaches. The primary focus is to build on the fundamental aspects of the Income and Asset Approaches found in the Fundamentals, Techniques & Theory (FT&T) course. The course uses multiple, hands-on exercises that will give the attendee practical experience in the application of the methods found in the Income and Asset Approaches in valuation engagements.

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Calculate a value using the Adjusted Net Asset Method under the Asset Approach n Determine when it is appropriate to use a capitalization of Single-Period Earnings Method v. Discounted Future Earnings Method under the Income Approach n Identify appropriate normalizing adjustments and calculate a normalized benefit stream

Day 4: Business Valuations—Case Analysis: Completed Transaction and Guideline Public Comparable Methods The Market Approach is one of the three commonly accepted ways to value a private company. Within this approach there are two primary methodologies: the Completed Transaction Method and the Guideline Public Comparable Method. While similar, these methods vary on the empirical data that is used to generate supportable results.

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Perform the Market Approach using the Completed Transaction Method n Perform the Market Approach using the Guideline Public Comparable Method n Explain their work in a written narrative n Utilize these results with other studies to determine the value of a private company

CVA/AVA Exam Q&A Study Guide A compilation of approximately 1,200 questions of the type you will find in the NACVA CVA/AVA proctored exam. Questions are divided into nine topical categories, each with subcategories.

For best results in your exam preparation, we suggest you read the questions in a topical category before your studies on that topic (live or via selfstudy). Following those studies, answer the questions to the best of your ability, checking the answer key to determine where you need to concentrate further study.

This Study Guide is designed to be a great companion to the BVTC training materials and video series.

Day 5: Special Purpose Valuations and Case Studies— Facts to Conclusion Part 1: Valuation for Financial Reporting Valuation specialists are seeing growing demand for these services, but equally close scrutiny and review of their fair value valuation work by auditing firms, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). This course is designed to distinguish valuations for financial reporting from other purposes. The definition the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) came up with, “Fair Value,” (FV) differs from Fair Market Value. There are three types of work for valuation specialists: 1) Allocation of purchase price for a business combination; 2) Testing amortizable intangibles and property, plant, and equipment (PP&E) for impairment; 3) Testing goodwill for impairment.

Program DESCRIPTION: The Business Valuation Accelerator Workshop (formerly the Intermediate Business Valuation Training Center) takes the world renowned Business Valuation Certification and Training Center (BVTC) to the next level.

Despite having obtained a credential, many valuators are still trying to figure out how to successfully and profitably complete consulting engagements.

This Workshop was created to advance the proficiencies required to achieve a valuation credential, but to also provide even more practical skills, covering everything between engagement acceptance to report delivery. This is a serious Workshop created for ambitious up-and-comers and even seasoned practitioners who want to bolster their skills to create and maintain a thriving practice. This Workshop is available to purchase as a four-day course or as individual days.

Day 1: Managing the Engagement, Alternatives, and Decisions Criteria, and Normalizing and Control Adjustments Part 1: Managing the Engagement, Alternatives, and Decisions Criteria This course begins with a discussion on the key factors appraisers consider when evaluating every new business valuation engagement. Why? Because evaluating engagement risk, getting the necessary information, and having the right tools is how your practice stays out of trouble and prospers. After a discussion on managing the engagement, the course will cover decisions and alternatives a valuator will encounter throughout the valuation process. An understanding of standards of value and premise of value and how to appropriately apply these standards will create an additional and important foundation. Attendees will learn how to draw conclusions from the subject company’s financial information and incorporate them into an industry and economic analysis. This section will include a discussion on how to identify the appropriate valuation method, illustrate techniques to develop capitalization rates and market multiples, contrast the pros and cons of the common valuation methods, and other topics addressed will include how to determine secondary discounts.

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Implement professional standards, industry research, and economic conditions in every business valuation performed n Identify factors that affect valuation decisions n Select an appropriate valuation approach n Develop a toolbox to increase efficiencies throughout the valuation process n Scope and budget valuation projects n Prepare tighter engagement letters n Make information requests and site visits more productive

Part 2: Normalizing and Control Adjustments After Managing the Engagement, Alternatives, and Decisions Criteria, the course will dive into an in-depth discussion to understand and dissect financial statements. This is a critical step in determining the valuation of a privately held business. This section will increase core skills and increase a valuator’s confidence to enable the valuation analyst to make appropriate adjustments to the financial statements or income tax returns of a business to more closely reflect its true economic financial position and results of operations on a historical and current basis. In this section, attendees will analyze historical financial statements and learn to identify normalizing and control adjustments.

The course will also demonstrate how to assess non-recurring or non-operating adjustments and show valuators how to calculate a normalized set of financial statements. Attendees will walk away with the tools to help them make the best decisions to effectively value a business correctly.

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Identify specific assets, liabilities, income, and/or expenses to which valuation adjustments may be required n Explain a valuation report, or in the work papers, reasons for making valuation adjustments and how they can be supported n Calculate appropriate valuation adjustments n Discuss how much financial statement investigatory work is “enough” n Distinguish between normalization and control adjustments n Experiment with a new financial model for handling officer compensation

Day 2: Determining Cost of Capital and the Income and Asset Approaches Part 1: Determining Cost of Capital The discussion on Determining Cost of Capital is designed to build on a basic understanding of capitalization and discount rates. This section is designed to develop practitioners’ understanding of risk to the point where they can explain and defend the methodologies of developing rates as well as the finance and economic theories behind the data. An understanding of risk and return will be discussed, along with the Capital Asset Pricing Model, Fama-French, the Gordon Growth Model, Ibbotson/Morningstar, and Duff & Phelps.

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Identify appropriate methods of developing capitalization and discount rates n Explain and defend the elements of a capitalization/discount rate n Analyze and assess the relevance and accuracy of reports and testimony of other experts n Adjust market multiples to reflect risk factors such as size, growth, and other factors

Part 2: Income and Asset Approach Following the discussion on the Cost of Capital, we start “running the numbers.” First, the Asset Approach. Does it apply? Should you get thirdparty appraisals for the tangible assets? Must you value the identifiable intangible assets? Then, the Income Approach. Ibbotson v. Duff & Phelps v.

Damodaran. Capitalization v. discounting…both require projections. And how reasonable is the perpetual life assumption for your subject company?

This course will teach attendees how to assess the appropriateness of risk rates used in the valuation reports of other experts and through calculations and examples know how to apply the Income and Asset Approaches to valuation.

Current Update in Valuations Program Description: This one-of-a-kind course is one practitioners always look forward to and depend on for ongoing development in valuation theory and practice. Undoubtedly, two of the more difficult and time-consuming challenges in business valuation are report writing and keeping up to date on current developments. Therefore, the latest business valuation theories (Normalizing Adjustments, Cost of Capital, Discounts & Premiums, and Income & Asset Approach) and applications to specific fundamental valuation principles have been “wrapped” into an actual detailed and complete valuation report prepared under the Fair Market Value standard of value. Discussions will also incorporate the most recent court case decisions as well as new developments in our industry standards. The instructors will incorporate a “nominal group technique,” which will focus on the questions and concerns of the attendees. In addressing these concerns and interests, increasing attendees’ awareness of the latest developments in valuation, and taking report writing skills to a higher level, the goal is to increase attendees’ knowledge, strengthen the effectiveness of their communication with clients, and allow them to produce an impressive solid work product capable of withstanding the rigors of the courtroom.

Program DESCRIPTION: Business appraisal review is a critical component of every business appraiser’s practice. No firm can risk being caught unaware of quality assurance problems.

Customer demands, potential penalties, sanctions, and loss of business are real possibilities in this era of heightened focus Accredited in Business on professional responsibility. Every Appraisal Review™ (ABAR™) business appraisal engagement must be reviewed. Whether this review takes place in house or externally, or even by the business appraiser, it is essential to know the fundamentals and procedures of the review process. Understanding the elements of review can go a long way to making the appraisal more effective in the first place. Understanding these elements enables the reviewer to ensure the quality and acceptability of the appraisal. Attendance at the Business Appraisal Review Accreditation Workshop provides the business appraiser with all of these tools and enables the appraiser to attain the Accredited in Business Appraisal Review (ABAR) credential.

NOTE: Attendees should bring a typical table of contents from a detailed valuation report and a sanitized section of a valuation report that they usually find challenging to prepare. These will be utilized in class during Day 1 and Day 2. The Workshop faculty will integrate these into class instruction providing constructive feedback to the attendees.

This Workshop qualifies for 25 bonus points toward NACVA credentialed member recertification, in addition to course CPE.

Day 1: Introduction to Report Writing and Report Review We will discuss and illustrate effective report writing techniques for the purpose of communicating the results of a business appraisal engagement.

Elements of business appraisal review will be indicated to show the attendee how to write the appraisal report in a way that ensures acceptance upon review.

The course covers the reasons report writing is important within the context of the elements of credibility that are critical to the reviewer and, ultimately, the acceptance of the report and its opinion of value. We cover components of good report writing and compare these with the elements of appraisal review. We discuss a report “roadmap,” cover pages, transmittal letters, table of contents, executive summaries, assumptions and limiting conditions, certifications, and qualifications. Appraisal review concepts, methods, and procedures will be introduced, enabling attendees pursuing the ABAR credential to continue with the Business Appraisal Review Accreditation Workshop. Appraisal review subjects include standards, procedures, stakeholders, language, and ethics.

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Recognize the features of excellent business appraisal reports, including design, layout, graphics, and organization n Identify language (grammar and content) useful for supporting subjective factors and typical valuation issues n Apply inductive and deductive reasoning to support valuation conclusions n Apply the principles of business appraisal review to the appraiser report writing process

This Workshop, and the associated ABAR accreditation, ensures that practitioners and firms are equipped to optimize the quality of business appraisals produced by firm associates. The Workshop teaches an innovative appraisal review and quality assurance procedure. Upon completion of the Workshop, demonstration report, and exams (all administered and completed during the class session), attendees qualify for the ABAR accreditation from the National Association of Certified Valuators and AnalystsTM.

write the appraisal report in a way that ensures acceptance upon review. The course covers the reasons report writing is important within the context of the elements of credibility that are critical to the reviewer and, ultimately, the acceptance of the report and its opinion of value. We cover components of good report writing and compare these with the elements of appraisal review. We discuss a report “roadmap,” cover pages, transmittal letters, table of contents, executive summaries, assumptions and limiting conditions, certifications, and qualifications. Appraisal review concepts, methods, and procedures will be introduced, enabling attendees pursuing the Accredited in Business Appraisal Review (ABAR) credential to continue with the Business Appraisal Review Accreditation Workshop. Appraisal review subjects include standards, procedures, stakeholders, language, and ethics.

Program DESCRIPTION: Report Writing. It’s where the rubber meets the road. The culmination of every business valuation engagement is the valuator’s report. The purpose of the valuation report is to persuade. The best valuation analysis will be lost if it’s not wrapped in readable, credible, and persuasive content. And even the best content will not be read or accepted if it is mired in boilerplate content, buried deep in the hinterlands of a thick report, or is simply not “fit for use.”

This engaging course is structured around the valuation engagement and report writing experiences of the attendees. As their specific issues are addressed, attendees will see examples of how to organize valuation reports, develop a table of contents, present mathematical models and statistical information, and use language that is most suitable to the specific engagement faced by the valuator.

If “beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” those who are empowered to evaluate it for that purpose judge the quality of any business valuation report. Thus, it is incumbent upon the valuator to fully understand the standards by which his or her valuation report will be judged. Review standards are fully implemented in the business valuation profession, but few professionals know full well how to apply them to their own valuation reports. Conventional report writing classes do not delve much into the review process. Report Writing: Review and Analysis includes those elements of the business appraisal review process that will make attendee’s valuation reports much better—readable, credible, and persuasive.

This year, for the first time, attendees registering for Report Writing: Review and Analysis may continue following the class into the Business Appraisal Review Accreditation Workshop and qualify for the Accredited in Business Appraisal Review (ABAR) credential.

Applicants for the Certified Business Appraiser (CBA) and Certified Valuation Analyst® (CVA®) designations will find the course instrumental in producing their case studies and demonstration reports for accreditation.

n Recognize the features of excellent business appraisal reports, including design, layout, graphics, and organization n Identify language (grammar and content) useful for supporting subjective factors and typical valuation issues n Apply inductive and deductive reasoning to support valuation conclusions n Apply the principles of business appraisal review to the appraiser report writing process

Day 2: Writing the Appraisal Review Report Teams are introduced to a nine-part rubric of review criteria and are assigned a selection of these to present to the class via a case study. The elements of business appraisal review are built out, including compliance with standards and understanding the scope of work. We will discuss report writing issues in control, minority, and levels of value issues and explain language that should be avoided in every appraisal report. Instructors facilitate the breakout sessions and evaluate and critique the team presentations. While the ABAR team members are assigned a second case study and begin preparation of a second business appraisal review report, the instructor will wrap up the Workshop by demonstrating how the attendees can use what they learned from the nine part rubric of review criteria to write a better report.

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Identify and develop review findings on an individual and team approach n Apply the elements of business appraisal review to a business appraisal report n Present findings and respond to challenges in a formal business oral presentation n Prepare a written part of a business appraisal review report

NOTE: Attendees should bring a typical table of contents from a detailed valuation report and a sanitized section of a valuation report that they usually find challenging to prepare. These will be utilized in class. The course faculty will integrate these into class instruction providing constructive feedback to the attendees.

This course is designed for all business valuation practitioners who want to improve the quality of their written appraisal reports.

This course qualifies for 25 bonus points toward NACVA credentialed member recertification, in addition to course CPE.

Consultants’ Training Institute Second Quarter 2013 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 Financial Forensic 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 CFFA 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 Paths to Obtain the MAFF Credential 1. Bankruptcy, Insolvency, and Restructuring

5. Forensic Accounting

This specialty program requires attending the five-day MAFF Workshop and its Bankruptcy, Insolvency, and Restructuring specialty training (see page 20). This specialty track focuses on work that practitioners may be called upon to perform when working in bankruptcy, reorganization, and insolvency. It is structured to provide a solid introduction to the laws, regulations, and administrative aspects of corporate bankruptcy and then culminates with forensic financial analysis and the litigation environment relating to corporate bankruptcy, reorganization, and insolvency.

2. Business Damages

This specialty program requires attending the five-day MAFF Workshop and its Business Damages specialty training (see page 20). 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.

This specialty program requires attendance at the four-day Forensic Accounting AcademyTM (see page 24). 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, the Academy defines the financial forensics/ forensic accounting profession. The content focuses on immediately useable and practical skills—not theory. Attendees will immediately deploy their skills upon return to their responsibilities.

6. Fraud Risk Management

This specialty program will be available only in self-study format beginning in the Summer of 2013. The Fraud Risk Management track of the MAFF (see page 26) offers a comprehensive understanding of fraud risk management, from identification of an organization’s fraud risk to provision of practical tools to address them. The solutions offered are applicable to entities of any size and structure, from small, privately owned companies to multi-national publicly held organizations, as well as not-for-profit and governmental/regulatory enterprises.

3. Business and Intellectual Property Damages

7. Matrimonial Litigation Support

This specialty program requires attending the five-day Business and Intellectual Property Damages Workshop (see page 23). 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.

4. Business Valuation in Litigation

This specialty program requires attending the five-day MAFF Workshop and its Business Valuation in Litigation specialty training (see page 20). This specialty track focuses on 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 BV in litigation.

This specialty program requires attending the five-day MAFF Workshop and its Matrimonial Litigation Support Workshop specialty training (see page 20). 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.

Prerequisite Requirements

All seven tracks with specializations have prerequisite requirements based on experience and training experience. For more information, visit www.theCTI.com or contact Member Services at (800) 677-2009.

Program Description: Valuation and financial forensics practitioners must have a broad base of knowledge to build and maintain a career in the financial forensics/litigation consulting niche. The Master Analyst in Financial ForensicsTM (MAFFTM) Workshop is a robust and intensive program that combines the core body of knowledge, techniques, and theories with practical application in the field.

This MAFF Workshop offers specialization in the highly lucrative areas of Bankruptcy, Insolvency, and Restructuring; Business Damages; Business Valuation in Litigation; and Matrimonial Litigation.

Note: After completing Day 1, attendees will break into their desired area of specialization. They will reconvene as a group on Day 4 PM. n Bankruptcy, Insolvency, and Restructuring— Assisting lenders, companies, attorneys, trustees, and/or other stakeholders in the bankruptcy, restructuring, and insolvency environment requires an understanding of legal, administrative, business economics, and economic issues; financial reporting, accounting, auditing, and income tax issues; valuation issues; and financial forensics and litigation services. The Bankruptcy, Insolvency, and Restructuring track of the MAFF curriculum focuses on work that practitioners may be called upon to perform when working in bankruptcy, reorganization, and insolvency. Specific attention is given to a distressed business’ plan of reorganization, solvency and liquidation analyses, and investigating avoidance actions, preferences, and fraudulent transfers. n Business Damages—Business damages are central to most commercial lawsuits. 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 Business Damages track of the MAFF curriculum focuses upon the foundations and fundamentals of business 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 business damages experts. n Business Valuation in Litigation—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. n Matrimonial Litigation—Divorce rates have been rising due to certain problems like incompatibility between couples, infidelity, lack of trust and understanding, and financial pressures. Financial consultants who want to branch into the area of matrimonial litigation need to understand and perform unique analyses specific to matrimonial disputes. n Separate MAFF Workshops are offered for Business and Intellectual Property Damages (see page 23), Forensic Accounting (see page 24), and Fraud Risk Management (see page 26).

Attendees of this MAFF Workshop: Bankruptcy, Insolvency, and Restructuring; Business Damages; Business Valuation in Litigation; and Matrimonial Litigation will select their desired area of specialty, then be trained, coached, directed, guided, and critiqued by our seasoned faculty of valuation and financial forensics experts and trial lawyers. All attendees will learn the core body of knowledge, professional standards, dynamics of the legal environment, and the communications and interpersonal skills necessary to survive the rigors of 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). This course will introduce a case study that will be used during the remainder of the week of training.

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Implement and apply legal concepts protocol to financial expert engagements n Identify the responsibilities of an expert, from retention through resolution of the proceeding n Withstand motions to exclude expert testimony n Interface with counsel on substantive and strategic issues throughout the legal proceeding

Program Description:

Day 1: Differentiate and Demonstrate Forensic Accounting Mind-Set

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.

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.

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.

Learning Objectives:

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

Page 24

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 5 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

Day 3: Intermediate and Advanced Techniques of Digital Analysis This course introduces you to IDEA© software and the benefits it will provide you while practicing the forensic techniques you have been studying. More tools and techniques will be introduced as well as known digital analysis styles including Benford’s Law, Stratification Percentage Comparison, Duplicate Numbers Test, etc., adding to your forensic accounting toolkit.

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Discuss and use IDEA© software n Describe the difference between the different types of Digital Analysis n Apply 20-25 foundational techniques as the springboard to deploying the remaining 300 +/- techniques

Day 4: Executing Critical Forensic Techniques This course takes all you have learned in the past three days and builds on that foundation. New tools and techniques will be added to your toolkit, but you will also be sharpening what you have learned in the prior three days.

Hypotheses, laws, theorems, and tests will be discussed and added to your toolkit. All you have learned using the FA/IM software as your outline and guide, will be ready for you to use your first day back at the office.

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Train others in your organization with respect to the foundational techniques n Identify your professional responsibilities regardless of financial or nonfinancial responsibilities n Implement a continuous means of maintaining technical currency as new tools, techniques, methods, and methodologies are formalized

“Hands on teaching with software were truly beneficial. The instructor’s experience and explanation for the relevance of the topics discussed helped me understand its significance to forensic analysis.”

Kerri Spano CFFA, CPA, San Bruno, CA

Who Should Attend: This primer is ideal for CPAs, law enforcement (federal, state, local), regulators, investigators, agents, attorneys, prosecutors, business advisors, bankers, fiduciaries, and business owners—in short, those who may not intend to focus a practice on financial forensics, yet want to understand the applicability of the discipline in their pursuits.

Program Description: Co-Sponsored by the Financial Forensics AcademyTM, the Forensic Accounting ClinicTM (Clinic) is an abbreviated version of the Master Analyst in Financial ForensicsTM (MAFFTM) Workshop: Forensic Accounting AcademyTM (Academy). Its two-day format permits limited exposure to overall Academy content, yet enables attendees to leave with immediately useable tools and prepares them for the full Academy.

The Clinic content is designed for both financial and non-financial professionals who require an introduction to sophisticated investigative and analytical skills to stay aware of increasing civil and criminal wrongdoer duplicity. Advanced skills are essential as people and money resources diminish. Those who complete the Clinic are on the path to becoming 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, this Clinic can help meet the experience requirement to obtain the Master Analyst in Financial Forensics (MAFF) credential.

The Clinic defines the financial forensics/forensic accounting profession: “The Art & Science of Investigating People & MoneyTM.” It 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 Clinic content focuses on immediately useable and practical skills—NOT theory. Attendees will immediately deploy their skills upon return to their responsibilities. The skills comprise some of 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.

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Explain the criticality and deployment of the three major financial forensics methodologies n Differentiate the four phases, 13 stages, and 5 actions per stage for FA/IM© n Apply 10-15 foundational techniques as the springboard to deploying the remaining 300 +/- techniques

Day 2: Commonly Applied Financial Forensic/Forensic Accounting Tools This course takes all the tools and techniques you learned in Day 1 to another level. You will continue to be exposed to new tools that can be used, but you will also be shown how to use these tools in a manner that will benefit your clients as well as your business. You will put together a plan that can be used every day with every client to protect them from fraud. And you will learn how to manipulate the information in such a way that you can pass this plan onto others at your company so they can also use it to protect their clients.

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Train others in their organization with respect to the foundational techniques n Identify their professional responsibilities regardless of financial or non-financial responsibilities n Implement a continuous means of maintaining technical currency as new tools, techniques, methods and methodologies are formalized

Who Should Attend: Financial professionals, CPAs, evaluation experts, and MAFF candidates pursuing specialty tracks.

Faculty: The Forensic Accounting Clinic is taught by Darrell D. Dorrell, CPA/ABV, MBA, CVA, ASA, CMA, DABFA; Gregory A. Gadawski, CPA/ABV, CVA, CFE; Chris Hamilton, CPA, CVA, CFE, DABFA; and Jason Pierce, CPA, CMA, CFM, CVA, CFFA.

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 preliminary access to the Financial Forensics Academy’s proprietary contextually sensitive Internet-based Forensic Accounting/Investigation Methodology© via a Process Map patent-in-process.

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.

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.

The AICPA has scheduled the CFF examination in two windows in 2013. The first exam opportunity is between July 1 and 31 with a registration deadline of June 1, 2013. The second exam opportunity is between November 15 and December 20 with a registration deadline of October 15, 2013. The 2013 Cornerstones offerings are scheduled to prepare CFF candidates for both examination windows.

“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™.

Program Description:

Day 1: The Sale-Side of M&A

This course introduces the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) process from the sale-side point of view with a specific focus on the techniques used by sale-side advisors and intermediaries. It provides attendees with an overview of the transaction process and protocols as well as the best practices concerning M&A valuation and due diligence. The course also addresses the details of the business of investment banking and provides insights on how to negotiate and structure transactions with strategic and financial buyers. Other topics include: n Survey of the middle market, players, and drivers n The M&A process and protocol n Main documents n Valuation in M&A n Due diligence (preliminary and confirmatory) n The balance sheet and deliverable targets n Preparing a business for sale n The business of investment banking n Venture capital and private equity groups n Case Study

Learning Objectives:

The valuation practitioner and the CPA have unique advantages in terms of entering this field. It is imperative, however, that substantial training be obtained if the practitioner is to achieve success and avoid the many pitfallsincluding technical, legal, and practical-that this field contains. The Mergers and Acquisitions Workshop is the first totally comprehensive mergers and acquisitions (M&A) course to contrast and compare the buy-side and sale-side perspectives of middle market M&A. Much of the literature on M&A is theoretical or academic and written by authors who have never actually done deals or have only seen a part of the overall process or one side of a deal. Traditional course material on the subject of M&A tends to exclusively reflect either the formalistic "numbercrunching" buy-side, or on occasion, the less formal, but no less artful, transactional advisor's approach to orchestrating events in order to maximize value for his or her sale-side client. This course assumes the two contrasting views as being two sides of the same coin. Inexperienced advisors reading the existing literature can be confused about what happens in the real deal world. They may attempt to apply highly formalistic concepts to the saleside when practical deal-making skills and knowledge of the market are called for. On the other hand, as sale-side advisors, they will try to do deals without knowledge of basic financial analysis or M&A valuation concepts that implicitly underlie every deal. Understanding how these issues are viewed both from the buy-side and sale-side perspectives-and the dynamic process that fuses the two contrasting views-is what makes this course unique and of interest to both inexperienced and experienced deal makers.

After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Summarize the sale-side M&A process and protocols n Reconcile the formalistic and practical sides of M&A deal making n Explain the core valuation techniques used by sale-side M&A advisors n Describe the rewards and challenges inherent in the business of investment banking

Day 2: The Buy-Side of M&A This course introduces the steps and formal and informal techniques used by successful buyers. Coverage will be both technical and practical (the science and the art), covering topics ranging from pre-deal strategic planning to post-transaction integration. Other topics covered include identifying and valuating synergies, techniques for finding and dealing with sellers, negotiating techniques and the use of negotiators, sanity checks, and sources and uses of deal-financing techniques as well as issues in managing the due diligence process. Other topics include: n Buyer types and motivations n Market trends and drivers n The acquisition process n Steps and techniques used by buyers n Valuation methodologies n Synergies (types, quantification, and valuation) n Deal structuring (tax and financial) n Post-transaction integration n Seller issues n Case Study

Day 3: Negotiation Principles and M&A in Action Part 1: Negotiation Principles In mergers and acquisitions transactions, the objective is to arrive at a convergence of objectives in which each party walks away feeling he or she got a fair and durable agreement. This requires the dealmaker to fine tune his or her negotiation skills to guide the parties toward such convergence. This course explores how fundamental negotiation principles and strategies are used in actual M&A transactions and compares and contrasts the techniques used on the sales-side with those used on the buy-side. Topics include: n Negotiation principles in action n Strategies and tactics

n Sale-side negotiations n Buy-side negotiations

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Describe the main principles in M&A negotiations n Compare and contrast desirable and undesirable behaviors in negotiation n Identify the key negotiating techniques used by buyers and sellers in an M&A transaction n Articulate the strategies and tactics used by successful negotiators

Part 2: M&A in Action This course provides attendees with an opportunity to put in practice the M&A principles and techniques learned in the previous courses. M&A in Action involves a simulated transaction with three types of buyers—a private company, a public company, and a private equity group—interested in acquiring a private company seller. Each step of the M&A process is analyzed and developed from the unique perspective of each of the parties involved in the transaction. Topics covered include: n Using the concepts and techniques n Introduction of a case study n Actual simulated M&A transaction between atendee buyer and seller teams n Bringing together theory and practical application

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Identify the main M&A concepts, strategies, and techniques studied in the course n Differentiate the approaches used by buyers and sellers in structuring transactions n Formulate and negotiate purchase offers n Identify the challenges inherent in the different stages of an M&A transaction

Day 4: Tax & Legal Issues and Building an M&A Practice Part 1: Tax & Legal Issues Middle market M&A transactions are riddled with potential tax and legal repercussions that must be addressed in order to optimize the outcome and minimize risk.

Program Description: This course builds on the knowledge and strategies presented in the basic Mergers and Acquisitions Workshop offered by the Middle Market Investment Banking Association (MMIBA®). It has been designed to provide attendees with an in-depth view of important aspects in middle market mergers and acquisitions through a combination of class presentations, attendee discussions, and case studies. The three-day Advanced Mergers and Acquisitions Workshop program focuses on providing a hands-on approach to the analysis and implementation of the foremost strategies used by middle market investment bankers in the areas of capital formation, leveraged buyouts, deal structuring, post-merger integration, and corporate restructurings.

Day 1: Raising Private Equity and Engineering an Exit Part 1: Raising Private Equity The process of raising capital from institutional sources requires that advisors properly match the appropriate sources of capital to the current and prospective needs of their client and know how to negotiate the various terms and conditions that each type of investor will demand. Additionally, given that a company is likely to undergo several rounds of financing, each round must be structured and negotiated in a manner that will prevent complications during later rounds. This session explores the requirements of raising equity capital and subordinated debt financing at different stages and discusses how to negotiate the most critical aspects of each type of financing.

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Identify the most suitable funding sources and strategies available to middle market business n Compare and contrast the characteristics of equity capital and subordinated debt financings and discuss their appropriateness n Identify the key terms and conditions contained in term sheets associated with each type of financing and know how to negotiate them

Part 2: Engineering an Exit The acquisition of a company or a division sometimes requires substantial leverage to make the transaction possible. But leverage is a double-edge sword. On one hand it can potentially increase return on equity, but, on the other, it can lead a company to bankruptcy. This session provides an overview of leveraged buyouts and the different modalities available to implement them. Also, it explores the ideal characteristics of candidates for these types of transactions and illustrates some of the leverage techniques through case studies.

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Identify the characteristics of the best candidates for a leveraged buyout n Distinguish among the different types of leveraged buyouts such as management buyouts, recapitalizations and employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs) n Recognize the different steps in the leveraged buyout process and identify the potential obstacles in engineering a leveraged transaction

Day 2: Deal Structuring and Key M&A Documents Part 1: Deal Structuring How an M&A transaction is structured determines how likely it is that the deal will be completed and whether or not the parties will ultimately achieve their stated objectives. In this session, attendees will explore in detail the components, strategies and consequences of tax and financial structuring in M&A transactions. Issues such as purchase price, forms of consideration, and price allocation are also discussed and analyzed to provide a comprehensive view of how M&A deals come together.

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Identify the four main components of the purchase price package n Compare and contrast the strategic issues associated with stock and assets transactions from the point of view of buyers and sellers n Articulate the potential implications of the various forms of tax and financial structuring in M&A transactions

Part 2: Key M&A Documents This session presents an in-depth view of the main elements, intended use, and negotiation strategies associated with the key documents in an M&A transaction. Documents to be discussed include the Non-Disclosure Agreement, Financial Services Agreement, Confidential Information Memorandum, Letter of Intent, and Definitive Purchase Agreement.

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Define the key elements in each of the main M&A documents n Recommend appropriate negotiation strategies for the main clauses n Compare and contrast buyer-friendly v. seller-friendly variations in each of the main M&A documents

Day 3: Restructurings & Turnarounds, Post-Merger Integration Part 1: Restructurings & Turnarounds A company experiencing financial distress goes through distinct stages, each one requiring a specific action plan to turn the situation around and restore normal operations. This session explores the different stages of company distress, their probable causes, and alternative actions to deal with each situation. Also, it provides atendees with the steps involved in planning a restructuring engagement and the strategies used in implementing a crisis stabilization and turnaround program.

Part 2: Post-Merger Integration Many M&A transactions that initially show substantial synergies end up producing disappointing results due to poor integration planning. This session provides attendees with an overview of the integration process, the risks involved, and how to plan the integration process.

Four-Day Workshop Individual Days

Program Description: Whether you are valuing medical practices or consulting with them, the medical practice arena represents a constantly changing dynamic with unique challenges that must be understood to effectively perform in either the valuator or consulting role. The completely revised Healthcare Valuation and Consulting Workshop introduces attendees to the primary value drivers at the practice level with a focus upon the regulatory constraints that dictate the forms of transactions that are deemed permissible for practitioners in the healthcare community to enter into. The four-day program addresses the unique dynamics of acute care healthcare business arrangements and the operation principles of medical practices and how to cope with today’s challenging healthcare industry.

Day 1: Understanding the Regulatory Environment of Healthcare Reimbursements and Forms of Healthcare Reimbursement Part 1: Understanding the Regulatory Environment of Healthcare Reimbursements

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Identify how healthcare providers are reimbursed for their services n Select the inputs to the reimbursement data and the use of this data for compensation planning and benchmarking analysis n Summarize how to convert the data underlying Medicare reimbursement data and other publicly reported Medicare data to benchmark company operations

Day 2: Provider Organizational Structures, Performance Metrics, and Benchmarking This first part of this course will lead attendees through a fundamental discussion of physician professional service arrangements, the key factors influencing value, and practical techniques for assessing the fair market value of physician compensation within these arrangements. The course will also study basic compensation structures. The second part of this course will provide an in-depth review of data sources available for benchmarking physician compensation and determining Fair Market Value (FMV).

Attendees will explore how to address the strengths, weaknesses, and biases of the different data sources as part of valuation studies.

Learning Objectives: After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Describe the primary forms of physician professional service arrangements n Identify the sources of value within professional service arrangements n Assess compensation methodologies under different types of professional service arrangements n Summarize the primary sources of physician compensation data and benchmarks n Navigate the primary physician compensation data sources and critique the reliability of the data for valuation purposes n Construct basic models to estimate FMV physician compensation using various published data sources

This presentation will describe the legal requirements under the Anti-Kickback Statute, Stark Law, False Claims Act, compliance program requirements, and the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines.

Day 3: Understanding, Structuring, and Valuing Physician Compensation Arrangements

Learning Objectives:

Program Description:

After completing this course, attendees will be able to: n Articulate the requirements under the general fraud and abuse laws, including the Anti-Kickback Statute, Stark Law, False Claims Act, and U.S. Sentencing Guidelines n Identify the risks under fraud and abuse laws n Differentiate between the requirements under each applicable fraud and abuse law and determine which fraud abuse laws apply to a compensation arrangement between referral sources

Part 2: Forms of Healthcare Reimbursement The way in which a healthcare entity is reimbursed varies depending on the type of entity. For example, certain entities are paid based on how many procedures are performed, while others are based on the number of patients the entity is responsible for providing service to, how long procedures last, or how many days the patient was under the care of the entity. The focus will be on reimbursement for physician services with a high-level overview of reimbursement for other types of providers.

Day 3 of the Workshop focuses on applying the material covered in the first two days of the Workshop in practical examples and case studies. Examples and cases will require the attendees to work through valuation issues that involve regulatory, reimbursement, scope of service, and data issues. Topics for both business and compensation valuation will be addressed. A session on writing reports for compensation valuations will also be covered.

It is a unique opportunity for attendees to engage, discuss, debate, ponder, and evoke thoughtful dialogue with their peers. It will afford the opportunity to discover and discuss with other talented professionals how they are handling challenging problems in the field.

Instructor Changes The CTI reserves the right to change instructors at any time should circumstances dictate.

Your registration confirmation will include details for lodging and other specifics, including event time schedule, modes of transportation, eating establishments, prerequisites (when applicable), etc. If your registration falls close to the date of the scheduled event, call CTI for hotel information.
