Forensic and Investigative Accounting Casebook (1st Edition)

Author: Professor D. Larry Crumbley, PhD, CPA, CFF, CrFA

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

Each case:

  1. lays out the basic principles and parameters of analysis to be applied in uncovering and proving fraudulent activity in domestic and/or international operations;
  2. provides a fact pattern and supporting documentation that allow students to not only uncover illegal activity, but also to prove such fraud in a court of law under American rules of evidence and courtroom procedure;
  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.

This book provides concise, plain-English coverage of these issues and more. It presents the fundamental rules for preparing a decedent's final income tax return and highlights the income tax rules for the decedent's estate and related trusts.

Archived Webinar: Conflicts of Interest: Professional Duties and Best Practices for In-House Counsel

A lawyer’s duty to avoid conflicts of interest is an important aspect of the duty of loyalty that lawyers owe to their clients. For Canadian in-house counsel, the duty to avoid conflicts of interest presents special challenges due to the nature of the relationship of in-house counsel to their employer. This webinar will enable in-house counsel to effectively navigate the conflict rules in the Canadian legal system, and provide participants with the knowledge to successfully implement best practices to avoid conflicts of interest.

This webinar will provide participants with an introduction to key cases including the recent Supreme Court of Canada case of Canadian Railway Co. v McKercher LLP, 2013 SCC 39, and provincial law society rules on conflicts of interest. It will also address when representation might attract a bright line rule, and when a contextual test will be applied; the circumstances in which a lawyer might be disqualified from representation of a client; and why a waiver might be insufficient. It will provide an opportunity to learn about the unique duties of in-house counsel in relation to conflicts of interest. Finally, it will provide discussion on some best practices for creating effective policies and procedures to avoid the creation of circumstances in which a conflict of interest would arise.

Key Learning Objectives:

  • Learn about the provincial Law Society rules on conflicts of interest in Canada;
  • Learn the key Canadian cases on conflict of interests, the rules that have emerged from the jurisprudence, and the policy concerns of the Canadian courts in relation to a lawyer’s duty to avoid conflicts;
  • Understand and reflect on your professional duties to your employer, and to your professional regulator, in circumstances in which a conflict of interest may arise; and
  • Learn about best practices and policies to avoid conflicts of interest.

Archived Webinar - The Use of Trusts in Estate and Business Planning

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

Died: Darrin Patrick, Who Used His Fall and Restoration to Help Struggling Pastors

(UPDATED) The St. Louis pastor spoke up about the difficulties faced by leaders and critiqued “celebrity culture” in ministry.

Darrin Patrick, a megachurch pastor, author, and speaker, has died.

Patrick was a teaching pastor at Seacoast Church, a multi-site megachurch based in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, and the founding pastor of the Journey Church in St. Louis, where he lived.

In a Friday evening update, Seacoast Church stated: “Darrin was target shooting with a friend at the time of his death. An official cause of death has not been released but it appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. No foul play is suspected.”

Patrick’s unexpected death came as a shock to friends and colleagues. Robby Gallaty, pastor of Long Hollow Baptist, in Hendersonville, Tennessee, said that Patrick was scheduled to speak at his church next weekend.

“I just talked to him Tuesday and Wednesday,” said Gallaty. “This is the second close friend I have lost in a year.”

Gallaty first met Patrick in 2015 and had invited him to speak the following year at a men’s ministry event at Long Hollow. Just before the event, he said, Patrick called and said he was leaving the ministry.

At the time, Patrick had been a rising star among Reformed evangelical circles and was serving as vice-president of the Acts 29 church planting network. He was fired from Journey for what church elders called misconduct including “inappropriate meetings, conversations, and phone calls with two women” and an abuse of power.

Despite Patrick’s fall from ministry, the two stayed friends. Patrick admitted his faults and got counseling. He went through a restoration process that lasted 26 months, according to a 2019 blog interview posted at Christianity Today. He returned to the ministry as a preacher but not as a senior pastor of a church. ...
