On June 7th – 10th the Corporate Finance group met in New York City with representatives from over 15 countries to discuss how

they were going to work together globally and discuss opportunities among the group. While visiting, the group attended a rooftop reception at the Kimberly Hotel to get that real New York City feel!

On June 18th the Chairman’s Circle met at the InterContinental hotel and were surprised with team building activities that opened their eyes to the hotel world.

Chairman’s Circle members toured different areas of the hotel from housekeeping to client services to engineering. They learned what the responsibilities were for each role and how they worked together. Surprisingly enough, they found there were quite a lot of similarities between the way a hotel runs and the way an accounting firm runs!

A DISPUTE OVER TEA – BUT NOT A BRITISH TAXATION ISSUEThe Forensic Services and Litigation team recently assisted Lou Biscotti and the Food & Beverage Group to achieve a beneficial result for important client AriZona Beverage Co. in a dispute between the AriZona founding partners.

The issues involved a variety of pay-off calculations, determinations of reasonable salaries and cash flow analyses. Our team worked closely with AriZona’s management and their legal counsel at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP. We issued two expert reports and assisted the attorneys in rebuffing certain arguments that were raised by the other side. In the end, the case settled and both AriZona and Cadwalader were extremely happy with our work. In fact, following the settle-ment, the Food & Beverage team was approached by members of AriZona regarding potential tax and account-ing engagements, which could result in significant additional fees for the firm.

Our Forensic Services and Litigation team continues to be involved in numerous issues that affect many of our existing clients, including employee fraud, white collar crimes, divorce proceedings, asset tracing, internal con-trols, and contractual corporate disputes. We examine vital information, uncover facts, develop case theories and evaluate alternative hypotheses to offer guidance, expert opinions, and testimony that best support our clients’ particular interests. For more information, please contact Mike Schulstad (x6971) or Michael Kupka (x6158) at our New York Office.
