Enron Corp. filed for bankruptcy protection on Dec. 2, 2001, making it the largest co. to declare bankruptcy in U.S. history. Enron's collapse deprived thousands of employees of their jobs, severely diminished their retirement savings, and led to the loss of billions of shareholder dollars. The company's failure and the months of revelations that followed triggered a crisis in investor confidence. The Committee initiated a wide-ranging review of the actions of the various governmental and private watchdogs that were supposed to monitor Enron's activities and help protect the public against these sorts of calamities. This report discusses the SEC and other watchdogs; and Wall Street securities analysts and credit rating agencies, and how they assessed Enron and its ratings.

In the wake of a series of recent corporate scandals and bankruptcies, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act mandated that the GAO study the involvement of investment banks (IB) with two companies, Enron and Global Crossing. In this report, the term "IB" includes not only securities firms but also those bank holding companies. with securities affiliates or business divisions that assist clients in obtaining funds to finance investment projects. GAO agreed to provide publicly available information on the roles IB played in designing, executing, and participating in certain structured finance transactions, IB, and Federal regulators' oversight of these transactions, and the role that the IBs' research analysts played with Enron and Global Crossing. Charts and tables.

A Brookings Institution Press and American Enterprise Institute publication A few years ago, Americans held out their systems of corporate governance and financial disclosure as models to be emulated by the rest of the world. But in late 2001 U.S. policymakers and corporate leaders found themselves facing the largest corporate accounting scandals in American history. The spectacular collapses of Enron and Worldcom—as well as the discovery of accounting irregularities at other large U.S. companies—seemed to call into question the efficacy of the entire system of corporate governance in the United States. In response, Congress quickly enacted a comprehensive package of reform measures in what has come to be known as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ followed by making fundamental changes to their listing requirements. The private sector acted as well. Accounting firms—watching in horror as one of their largest, Arthur Andersen, collapsed after a criminal conviction for document shredding—tightened their auditing procedures. Stock analysts and ratings agencies, hit hard by a series of disclosures about their failings, changed their practices as well. Will these reforms be enough? Are some counterproductive? Are other shortcomings in the disclosure system still in need of correction? These are among the questions that George Benston, Michael Bromwich, Robert E. Litan, and Alfred Wagenhofer address in Following the Money. While the authors agree that the U.S. system of corporate disclosure and governance is in need of change, they are concerned that policymakers may be overreacting in some areas and taking actions in others that may prove to be ineffective or even counterproductive. Using the Enron case as a point of departure, the authors argue that the major problem lies not in the accounting and auditing standards themselves, but in the system of enforcing those standards.

Four years after the debacle, the term 'Enron' has earned its place in the everyday vocabulary of business ethics. Hardly anyone understands the business intricacies of what really happened with the sophisticated energy conglomerate. Even fewer are those able to envision, beyond the business case, the ethical questions and dilemmas facing actors at any one stage of the drama. Using the collapse of Enron as a case study, this book not only shows how and where ethics came into play, but also draws lessons and discusses possible remedies that may prevent the whole financial system from falling apart as a result of either excessive greed or over-regulation.
