Abstract:A case analysis of Cendant, the American business and consumer services corporation, generates guidelines for enhancing managers' evaluation of risk. Of particular import to managers are risk exposures associated with non-recurring "opportunities" for mis-statement and the use of outsourcing within the accounting and reporting process. This case-based analysis of both red flags and hints regarding risk exposures, combined with active steps that can be taken to address such risks is intended as a prescription based on alleged past events at Cendant.
