Some of the strongest allegations in these suits are against the auditors, the outside experts hired to check the books and give them their stamp of approval. Host Dianne Buckner investigates the world of auditing and how well auditors are doing their job. The segment entitled Inside a Class Action looks at the 11 class action lawsuits being launched against Garth Drabinsky's Livent company in the United States. Each of the lawyers in these cases are in competition. Only one will be chosen by the courts to be lead counsel, representing all Livent shareholders. Reporter Deborah Lamb reports from inside three of the law firms, following the action. As one lawyer says, hearing about Livent's troubles was like "the dinner bell for vultures". The final segment, Business Cards, gives advice on what makes a memorable business card. <30mn>Language:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
