Tiivistelmä: | Known for aggressive tactics and unflagging toil, staff at Big Five accountants Andersen were the marines of the professional service industry. The author states that when the Enron scandal broke in the US, the ethics of the corporation came into the question. As the firm's global edifice came crashing down, its beleaguered UK head launcher a desperate salvage operation. Implicated in the Enron frauds by its destruction of evidence, the auditing firm lost all credibility and most of its blue-chip clients. The author of the article states that the ship has sunk for good but the ripples continue to spread. The author recounts how a global reputation was shredded. |
