This book contains a summary of the laws that govern business
associations and are designed to help accountants spot potential
problems their clients may encounter. The author, an attorney and
environmental consultant, divided the material into three parts:
corporations, partnerships, and agencies. Each begins with a
discussion and explanation of applicable legal terminology,
followed by the steps necessary to create the type of entity, the
duties and responsibilities of officers and other relevant matters.
The dissolution of each type of business also receives coverage.
This material provides a good refresher course on the basics of
business law for the busy practitioner. "Journal of
Accountancy"
This book fills a major gap in the literature for professional
accountants by offering a comprehensive discussion of the law
concerning the three major types of business associations:
corporations, partnerships, and agencies. As Wolf notes at the
outset, accountants must have adequate knowledge of the laws
governing business associations if they are to successfully perform
professional services for their clients--the failure to spot
potential legal problems can often spell disaster for a particular
business. Wolf offers a current, accurate, in-depth treatment of
the laws of business association in one logically organized source,
specifically written to address the needs and concerns of
accounting professionals.
Following an introduction, the volume is divided into three
major sections each dealing with a specific type of business
association. For each, Wolf draws on the relevant federal and state
laws, uniform laws, common law, and judicial decisions to present a
clear picture of significant issues. Section One deals with laws
involving management, shareholder's rights, corporate financial
structure, mergers and acquisitions, securities regulation, and
dissolution. In the section devoted to partnerships, separate
chapters address partnership formation, property, rights and
liabilities of partners, termination, and limited partnerships. The
final section covers agency creation, duties, liabilities, and
termination. Taken as whole, this volume represents an important
addition to the professional literature available to accountants in
both corporate and private practice.
