ABSTRACT
The following trial transcript is a sequel to the deposition given by Zeph Telpner that was discussed in Chapter 6. From these trial transcripts and the depositions in other chapters, the accounting expert witness can learn what an attorney does to qualify a witness. This also gives him the opportunity to learn from direct-and cross-examination what judges, jurors, and attorneys want to know about facts and issues. Direct examination of the accounting expert witness by his engaging attorney is necessary to establish that he has the know-how, education, professional experience and certifications to testify as an expert in this dispute. It gives information to the judge so that he can accept or reject the expert as a witness. The testimony and direct-and crossexamination are sufficient to give a beginner insight on testifying, and the experienced accounting expert can learn something new.
