The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today. But however well-known these sayings might be, it requires a change in mindset to properly implement a cash flow management system that predicts your business's runaway as accurately as possible. Key to this new mindset is understanding the difference between the Statement of Cash Flows, a historical look at the source and uses of cash, and the Cash Flow Statement, which uses transaction history and forward-l
Artificial intelligence is transforming financial services, but it’s also giving cybercriminals new and sophisticated tools to breach systems. Hackers are increasingly using AI to exploit vulnerabilities in security, conduct social engineering attacks, and bypass safeguards like multi-factor authentication. As both financial institutions and criminals become more adept with AI, the need for robust, forward-thinking defenses continues to grow.
In reply to Ron Styles. I have never been, or ever will be biased in anything I do; it doesn’t matter to me what you are, who you are, what color you are, what ethnicity you are, or anything else you are, it has NO bearing on either my appraisal process or my personal happiness or well being. This whole thing got blown out of proportion and once it’s out there, even though it’s been proven false, it is still in the minds of the people who want to hear it and foster it.

Cigna Group and Frontier Airlines have both restarted once-stalled bids to acquire smaller rivals, rekindling merger rumors spanning the healthcare and airlines industries, while Sports Illustrated's secondary ticket platform wants to borrow up to $50 million to acquire competitor Anytickets. Here, Law360 breaks down these and other notable deal rumors from the past week.
Unfortunately this is a political attack by one party to keep the electorate divided and sow discourse as well as to allow the powers that be increase their control over the lending and appraisal process as well as the public. Follow the money as the saying goes. They have no proof whatsoever. But once they put the allegations of bias out there it has done its damage in the mind of consumers, even if it is proven to be 100% false, which it is.
Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (NASDAQ: KDP ) shares are trading lower on Thursday. The company reported third-quarter adjusted earnings per share of 51 cents, which aligned with the street view.

We all know what’s going on here and it has very little or nothing to do with race. “Race” is just a weapon. All you have to do is become familiar with the writings of Marx, Goebbels, The Frankfurt School, Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Hitler, etc., etc., etc. and simply see what’s going on the US and all of Western Civilization. This is a much, much bigger issue than just us appraisers.

Dura Medic, a private equity-controlled medical equipment supplier, and its directors and officers won their bid Thursday in Delaware's Court of Chancery to beat back, for now, a request for a temporary restraining order blocking a settlement that could put a $5 million directors and officers insurance policy beyond the reach of the previous owners' damage claims.

In a new paper, we explore the often-misunderstood role of short sellers in corporate misconduct and securities class actions. Short sellers are investors who bet on a future decline in a company’s stock price.
