CHAD RUCKER: So the next section that we will start on is talking about the cash flow statement. One of the things with any business what we really have to do is we have to take a business and break it down into its simplest component. And really when we break a business down into its simplest component, a business is nothing else other than a cash generator. We can't spend net income. We can't spend really the items on the balance sheet unless it's ...

SPEAKER 1: Fabulous, welcome back. We are going to get started. Our next panel is on economics and finance. And I think, although we'll find out, that what our friends are going to cover here is about how economic concepts impact policy and legal analysis.

JOHN OLSON: Well, this is the last panel of the day. This is the ethics panel. For those of you who were here for CLE, this is the medicine that we all have to take each year.

And we've got a terrific panel, yours truly excluded, to help us talk about some ethical issues that arise in a context having to do with whistle blowers and accounting issues and financial controls. So hopefully ...
