Book Description

Lawyers involved in high-tech licensing deals typically pay close attention to the financial terms of a business relationship, but too often neglect critical provisions related to monitoring, reporting and auditing. These poorly crafted terms and conditions are often not discovered until a royalty audit or litigation, at which point it may be too late to undo the damage, leaving the licensor with no choice but to accept pennies on the dollar of owed royalties. Financial Elements of Contracts: Drafting, Monitoring and Compliance Audits helps lawyers avoid such pitfalls by presenting both the financial nuances of contracting and demonstrating how proper monitoring and auditing should occur once a deal is in place.

Book Description

Audits provide essential accountability and transparency over government programs. Given the current challenges facing governments and their programs, the oversight provided through auditing is more critical than ever. Government auditing provides the objective analysis and information needed to make the decisions necessary to help create a better future. The professional standards presented in this 2018 revision of Government Auditing Standards (known as the Yellow Book) provide a framework for performing high-quality audit work with competence, integrity, objectivity, and independence to provide accountability and to help improve government operations and services. These standards, commonly referred to as generally accepted government auditing standards (GAGAS), provide the foundation for government auditors to lead by example in the areas of independence, transparency, accountability, and quality through the audit process. This revision contains major changes from, and supersedes, the 2011 revision.

Book Description

Written by security experts at the forefront of this dynamic industry, this book teaches state-of-the-art smart contract security principles and practices. Smart contracts are an innovative application of blockchain technology. Acting as decentralized custodians of digital assets, they allow us to transfer value and information more effectively by reducing the need to trust a third party. By eliminating the need for intermediaries, smart contracts have the potential to massively scale the world economy and unleash the potential for faster and more efficient solutions than traditional systems could ever provide. But there's one catch: while blockchains are secure, smart contracts are not. Security vulnerabilities in smart contracts have led to over $250 million USD in value to be lost or stolen. For smart contract technology to achieve its full potential, these security vulnerabilities need to be addressed. Written by security experts at the forefront of this dynamic industry, this book teaches state-of-the-art smart contract security principles and practices. Help us secure the future of blockchain technology and join us at the forefront today!
