A collection of Problem-Based Learning cases designed to reinforce principles taught in forensic accounting/auditing courses throughout the United States.

3. is designed for students to perform forensic investigation, alone or in teams, with the instructor serving as a facilitator; and
4. includes secondary documents that either corroborate the superficial accounting information initially provided or reveal anomalies and discrepancies pointing to who, what, when, where, how, and why.

Trusts have become extremely valuable tools when planning for the continuance of a person's estate, and are often used in business succession planning as well. For example, discretionary trusts are one of the most flexible tax planning tools available. However, there are many types of trusts, and each can be used to tailor specific planning needs.



Just as trusts are a valuable tool, there are also many tax and legal traps that one needs to be cognizant of when using them in client situations. For example, the very creation of the trust can be particularly troublesome if it is not set up with the correct attributes or if assets are not transferred to it correctly.

This 2 hour webinar will provide a practical and complete overview of the legal definitions and considerations of various trust types, as well as reviewing important tax considerations when planning with trusts. Examples of suggested tax planning structures and related tips will also be provided.



More specifically, topics covered will include:

• What elements are required for a properly created trust
• Tax issues to review when creating a trust and in particular the tax attribution rules
• Review of types of trusts used in estate and business planning - including insurance trusts, spendthrift trusts, asset protection trusts, private foundation trusts and trusts created for probate and estate tax minimization and income splitting
• Change of trustees - change of control from a tax perspective
• What are the tax and other limitations of amending a trust once created
• What ongoing obligations do trustees have to beneficiaries, including reporting and trust accounting

It often seems today that no dispute is barred from resolution by arbitration. Even the fundamental question of whether a dispute falls under the exclusive jurisdiction of a judicial body may itself be arbitrable. Arbitrability is thus an elusive concept; yet a systematic study of it, as this book shows, yields innumerable guidelines and insights that are of substantial value to arbitral practice.

Although Arbitrability: International and Comparative Perspectives takes the form of a collection of essays, it is designed as a comprehensive commentary on practical issues that emerge from the idea of arbitrability. Fifteen leading academics and practitioners from Europe and the United States each explore different facets of arbitrability always with a perspective open to international developments and comparative evaluation of standards.

The presentation falls into two parts: in the first the focus is on the general features of arbitrability, its rationale and the laws applicable to it. In the second, arbitrability is specifically examined in the context of administrative, criminal, corporate, IP, financial, commercial, and criminal law.

This book has its origins in an International Conference on Arbitrability held at Athens in September 2005. Seven papers presented there are here reviewed and updated, and nine others are added.

The subject of the book – arbitrability – is one that is much talked about, but seldom if ever given the in-depth treatment presented here. Arbitrators and other practitioners in the field will welcome the way the analysis moves logically from theory to practice regarding every issue, and academics will recognize a definitive treatment of arbitrability as understood and applied in the settlement of disputes today.
