The fall speeds on, and the calendar is packed. I am looking forward with enthusiasm to being at Baruch College in New York on Wednesday, December 2, for the Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity's 4th Annual Audit Conference, "Ensuring Integrity."
Information on the agenda and registration is here. It will be an interesting day, led by Professor Doug Carmichael and including senior staff members of the SEC and the PCAOB as well as representatives of the large firms.
I will be on the last panel of the day -- deliberately scheduled, I suspect, so as not to put anyone off their lunch -- "What Every Auditor Should Know About Litigation." Professor Carmichael will moderate, and I will be joined by Jim Sabella of the hot plaintiffs-oriented law firm of Grant & Eisenhofer, and Willkie Farr & Gallagher partner Mike Young, probably the accounting profession's best-known adviser/spokesman.
The content for our panel will be under development in the next few weeks. I have some ideas of my own -- but I invite you to write with your thoughts. What would you like to have addressed? On what litigation topics should auditors know more -- or other than -- they do now? For that matter, to bend the topic a bit, what should other constituencies know about auditor litigation.
I'll welcome and take up your suggestions -- and will report back later with more to say.
