      The Practice of Mediation: A Video Integrated Text, 2nd Edition

      Published: June 2012


      This widely-adopted mediation text was the first to combine in-depth textual analysis of the mediation process with video case studies illustrating the stages of the mediation process and the many constituent skills of effective mediators. The Practice of Mediation, Second Edition expands that video content and makes it available to students online or in a seamless e-book format, with a simple click of an icon. The book has quickly become the text of choice in mediation clinics and mediation simulation courses.

      Features of the second edition:

      • All original text, written in an accessible and conversational style. Used by many first-time mediation instructors as well as by highly experienced teachers and trainers.
      • Provides students with a sophisticated conceptual understanding of the negotiation process and the cognitive, psychological and strategic barriers to conflict resolution.
      • Teaches about the mediation process “from the inside out,” breaking down the skills of effective mediation into their component parts.
      • Closely analyzes the major ethical and role issues that mediators encounter “on the ground.” Includes a video-driven chapter on representation of clients in mediation.
      • Recognizes and prepares students for all of the major approaches to mediation.
      • Contains seven hours of video, depicting nine professional mediators, with different backgrounds and orientations, mediating three different cases, often with very different results.
      • The video extracts are fully integrated with the text, enabling students to “see” what they are reading about as they read it, and enabling instructors to save precious classroom time by assigning video extracts to be viewed and analyzed outside of class.
      • The three video case studies are all based on real mediated disputes.
      • In these unscripted mediations, the mediators and lawyers perform as they would in an actual case. Professional actors portray the role of the disputants in an extremely realistic and believable fashion. In addition to illustrating a very wide range of mediator techniques, the video includes an extended comparative example of facilitative and evaluative mediation of the same matter.
      • The Teacher's Manual includes detailed, flexible chapter-by-chapter teaching notes; a wide variety of simulations and mini-role-plays from which to choose (many with instructor debriefing notes); sample syllabi and suggestions for how the book can be used in a variety ofcourse configurations; transcripts of the video extracts that instructors can assign to students for further “micro-analysis,” plus author commentary; andassorted additional course information material and handouts.

      SEC Disclosures Checklists, (2014 Edition) W/ CD-ROM

      Author: Paul A. Mackey, CPA

      SEC Disclosures Checklists is a practical guide designed for CPAs who service public companies, whether internally or externally. It identifies disclosure requirements for financial statements, Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), and the SEC rules mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This product is both for preparers and reviewers of financial statements that will be included in 1933 or 1934 Act domestic filings, including those on Forms 10-Q, 10-K, and 8-K. It can be used to prepare and review financial statement disclosures of most domestic registrants.

      The checklists are organized by question, disclosure requirement and reference source. First, the reader is prompted with a question, such as "Does the company have restrictions on its cash?" If the answer is yes, the reader proceeds to the disclosure requirement. The reader can also obtain more in-depth information by reading the excerpts from SEC reference material that is provided in the book and supports the requirement.

      Once the reader is satisfied that the company has met the disclosure requirements, the response to the question and the workpaper reference can be entered into the book or on the checklist, which is available on the free, companion CD included with the volume. The completed checklists can be placed in quarterly or annual workpapers to provide support for review and compliance procedures.

      The free, back-of-the-book CD contains three checklists covering the same disclosure questions and requirements in the book:

      1. SEC Disclosures Checklist--Financial Statements for Commercial Companies and Specialized Industries.

      Regulation of Corporate Disclosure, Third Edition

      The Regulation of Corporate Disclosure, Third Edition is a complete and up-to-date handbook on the issue of corporate disclosure, covering the impact of the federal securities laws on both informal communications and the process of communicating with shareholders.

      The third edition expands topics previously covered, addressing the legal issues and practical concerns surrounding implementation of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. The book also has an in-depth treatment of management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A), something that, although appearing in required SEC filings, involves many of the same difficult and complex issues raised by the informal disclosure process. Also addressed are: SEC reforms of the periodic reporting process; issues pertaining to stock research analysts and conflicts of interest; and various relevant corporate governance requirements and their disclosure implications.

      Critical areas analyzed include:

      • Disclosure requirements and anti-fraud provisions
      • The duty to disclose
      • Dissemination
      • Issues involving materiality
      • Disclosure of bad news
      • Negotiations
      • Dealing with analysts
      • And much more!
