Product Information

Purchase and sale agreements look simple on the surface, but many disputes start because key terms were misunderstood or ignored.

This session focuses on how sale agreements affect real transactions, not on legal wording for its own sake. It explains the parts of an agreement that most often cause problems — price terms, payment conditions, warranties, and responsibilities — and how these issues impact accounting, cash flow, and reporting.

The session is practical and clear. It helps accountants understand where they are exposed, how to spot warning signs early, and when a matter should be escalated to a legal professional. Delegates will leave better able to support deals, protect their clients, and avoid being drawn into disputes they cannot fix.
