The Failure of Enron’s Financial Governance and Controls
Using Enron as an example, provide an analysis of where and how stronger financial governance and proper internal (and external) controls could have been implemented to prevent the reporting oversights and fraud that led to the demise of both the company and its outside auditor. Focus on any indicators of earnings management, accounting policy manipulation, and the “red flags” that they should have been raised. Your analysis should also provide your evaluation regarding the governance responsibility that each of the following groups had in failing to prevent the fraud that took place; Enron’s Board Of Directors, External Auditors, CEO/CFO, Internal Auditors, Internal management, outside constituencies. You should use Enron’s 2000 10K and Financial Statements to bolster your analysis.
