Topic Descriptions:
Session One - Reengineering Health Care: The Next Steps
 (Business Management and Organization)
In recent years, rising health care costs have posed a risk to the wellness of employees and a threat to employers' balance
sheets. In our opening segment, Jim Champy, co-author of "Reengineering Health Care," explains how the delivery of health care
services presents an opportunity for radical redesign that would enhance quality as well as lower costs dramatically.
Â
Session Two - Valuing Your Assets and Liabilities: Today's Challenges
(Auditing)
By exposing numerous shortcomings in the financial markets as well as in the area of financial reporting, the economic
crisis has challenged companies to find better ways to value their assets and liabilities. Neil Beaton, partner-in-charge
of valuation services at Grant Thornton LLP, emphasizes how new techniques allow you to determine the value of both established
and start-up enterprises more accurately.
Â
Session Three - Increased State Business Taxes: Adjusting the Sales FactorÂ
 (Taxes)
Over the past few years, we have chronicled how states are increasingly targeting out-of-state businesses as additional
sources of much-needed revenues. Attorney Arthur Rosen, of McDermott Will & Emery, reveals how more jurisdictions are
escalating corporate tax liability by "adjusting" the method they use to calculate income generated within their borders.
Â
Session Four - Consolidations and Control: Implementing the New RulesÂ
 (Accounting)
Implementation of FASB's guidance - issued as SFAS No. 167, but now effective as ASC Topic 810 - is expected to bring more
than $515 billion in assets back onto balance sheets in 2010. Michael Hall and Stacy Keating, of KPMG's transaction accounting
services practice, outline how companies must evaluate all their business interests in order to determine what needs to be
consolidated under the new rules.
