| financial statements for lawyers: Law and Accounting Lawrence A. Cunningham, 2005 This book is both revolutionary and traditional, using primary materials rather than author narrative. By adopting this traditional approach for law and accounting, Cunningham's new book puts the subject on par with other law school courses. This traditional cases and materials approach underscores how accounting standards bear earmarks of functional law. To facilitate analogical and critical engagement on par with other law school teaching books, pedagogical design follows the classic casebook method of arranging cases and materials in pairs of opposites and complements. This arrangement enables conceptualizing accounting as functional law as theoretical and analytical matters as well. This original content also illuminates transaction economics, factors associated with accounting irregularities and the lawyer's role in financial reporting. |

| financial statements for lawyers: Accounting for Lawyers, Concise Mathew Barrett, David Herwitz, 2022-04-20 New book purchase includes complimentary digital access to the eBook. Now in a sixth edition, the concise version continues to respond to the demand for a briefer, less detailed casebook that introduces novices to how accounting issues frequently arise both in transactional work and litigation. Designed specifically for one- and two-credit hour courses for law students with no accounting background, the text of the Concise Sixth Edition is more than a third shorter than the Sixth Edition, so students will find this text less expensive and easier to master. The Concise Sixth Edition incorporates numerous developments since the Fifth Edition, most significantly discussions about the new generally accepted accounting principles governing revenue recognition, lease accounting, and credit losses. Often collectively referred to as new GAAP, these rules mark the most significant changes to financial accounting in at least a generation. The Concise Sixth Edition also identifies and discusses various financial accounting issues that lawyers should keep in mind during the pandemic and its aftermath. The first section of each chapter, entitled Importance to Lawyers, explains how accounting concepts and financial statements affect legal issues. The text empowers students: To work backwards through the bookkeeping process and, when necessary, to trace an amount that appears on the financial statements through the accounting records to the ledgers, journals, and supporting documentation; To negotiate agreements or other legal documents containing accounting terminology or concepts; To recognize red flags that suggest financial difficulties--or even financial fraud; and To understand--and, when necessary, defend against--the opportunities to obtain accounting-related information about an underlying lawsuit and then to use that information during litigation. Like its predecessor, the Concise Sixth Edition uses a learn by doing approach, including: Illustrative financial statements from Starbucks Corporation Multiple problems using the financial statements from Amazon.com, Inc., Google Inc., and United Parcel Service, Inc. |

| financial statements for lawyers: The Code of Capital Katharina Pistor, 2020-11-03 Capital is the defining feature of modern economies, yet most people have no idea where it actually comes from. What is it, exactly, that transforms mere wealth into an asset that automatically creates more wealth? The Code of Capital explains how capital is created behind closed doors in the offices of private attorneys, and why this little-known fact is one of the biggest reasons for the widening wealth gap between the holders of capital and everybody else. In this revealing book, Katharina Pistor argues that the law selectively codes certain assets, endowing them with the capacity to protect and produce private wealth. With the right legal coding, any object, claim, or idea can be turned into capital - and lawyers are the keepers of the code. Pistor describes how they pick and choose among different legal systems and legal devices for the ones that best serve their clients' needs, and how techniques that were first perfected centuries ago to code landholdings as capital are being used today to code stocks, bonds, ideas, and even expectations--assets that exist only in law. A powerful new way of thinking about one of the most pernicious problems of our time, The Code of Capital explores the different ways that debt, complex financial products, and other assets are coded to give financial advantage to their holders. This provocative book paints a troubling portrait of the pervasive global nature of the code, the people who shape it, and the governments that enforce it.--Provided by publisher. |
