The conference, "Property and Complex Financial Issues," is geared for both legal and financial professionals and will cover a broad array of financial and legal issues surrounding divorce. Agenda topics include: interaction between family lawyers and CPAs; hidden/unreported income and tax fraud; intellecutal property in equitable distribution, stock option valuation and distribution issues; using tax returns and financial statements as discovery tools; and more.

"As marital assets have been defined more broadly and become increasingly complex, such as stock options, the conference will be an excellent opportunity for accountants and lawyers to improve their knowledge about both valuing marital assets as well as fairly dividing those assets," said Academy's president, J. Lindsey Short, Jr.
