Is your company as strong as you believe?
Strategies and Liquidity Alternatives in a Challenging Economic Environment

We begin the 2012 program year with a topic that should be on your minds —the financial health of your business. Even if you believe your company is on a firm financial footing, it is prudent to be able to identify warning signs so that corrective action can be taken.

• Restructuring process, strategies and liquidity alternatives
  
• Duties and and responsibilities and avoiding liability
