Abstract

Despite a rash of “underauditing” problems in recent years, the accounting profession has done
little to stop their spread. The latest result is another disaster: Enron. Why has the United States had such a
plague of questionable accounting? Exactly what went wrong at Enron? The author answers these
questions and takes a sobering look at the implications—and what should be done. © 2002 Wiley
