    Sarbanes-Oxley

    Issues surrounding corporate accounting fraud emerged with great controversy during the Enron Scandal. Enron was most famously known for buying and selling energy, in addition to its creative business strategies. Keller ((2012)), "Enron used Wall Street magic to transform energy supplies into financial instruments that could be traded online like stocks and bonds. These contracts guaranteed customers a steady supply at a predictable price or at least that’s what Enron wanted investors to believe” (Enron for Dummies). The company misled the public and its investors into believing it was experiencing growth in revenue when in actuality it was losing big and hiding the losses behind bogus partnerships. The Chief Executives, Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling were collectively found guilty of fraud, conspiracy, insider trading and bank fraud Enron’s unethical practices led to substantial losses for its investors and highlighted the need for major regulatory reform.…

    The Importance Of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act

    In 2001, Enron, one of America’s leading energy companies, disappeared overnight. At its height, Enron had “a stock price over $90...a marker value of 70 billion… [and] gigantic executive compensation incentive packages” (Giroux). After being exposed of unethical business and accounting methods, Enron eventually went bankrupt. Enron was convicted of fraud, money laundering, conspiracy, and over 50 other charges. The Enron Scandal is a watershed moment in accounting because of the exposure and reevaluation of faulty business administration and unethical business ethics, the creation of the President’s Corporate Fraud Task Force, and the creation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.…

    The Film Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room

    The film Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005) demonstrates that Enron, as a company, was managed through patriarchal and authoritarian principles that facilitated, and even encouraged, illegal activity. Enron was a well-respected company that received accolades in the press and was named Fortune Magazine’s most admired company for several years; this created an atmosphere of supremacy and superiority within the business and the top company leaders (Gibney, 2005). Company leaders like Jeffrey Skilling, Lou Pai, and Kenneth Lay fostered an authoritarian environment within the company where whistleblowers or other doubters were humiliated and devalued; at the same time, the company was engaged in illegal and unethical business practices perpetrated against the public (Schwartz, 2002). The authoritarianism within Enron only grew as the company’s financial footing became less secure (Schwartz,…

    The Failed Corporate Culture of Enron

    High risk accounting, inappropriate conflicts of interest, extensive undisclosed off-the-books activity, excessive compensation – these are some of the headings of the report prepared by the U.S. Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations titled "The Role of the Board of Directors in Enron's Collapse." (Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, 2002) In February, 2002, Enron's former Chief Executive Officer Jeffery Skilling had testified before members of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee that Enron was a financially sound company the day he resigned in August 2001, just months before the company's financial implosion. But the Enron debacle has, as the Houston Chronicle put it, "all the earmarks of classic tragic drama in which hubris causes the fall of the mighty," (Ivanovich, 2002) and, Mr. Skilling's sworn testimony to the contrary, the decisive role that Skilling and the company's other top executives played in the bankruptcy of this $63 billion company now seems incontrovertible. Indeed, from the point of view that the business culture at Enron contributed importantly to the company's demise, the blame for this financial tragedy can be pretty squarely placed on Skilling's shoulders, and the values he promoted among top and mid-level management during his five year stewardship of the company from 1996 to 2001.…

    Entry Barriers of Global Marketing

    An understanding of the entry barriers to internationalization and their effect on entry mode selection is important because they can assist in determining why global marketers are unable to exploit their full potential and why many firms fail or incur financial losses in their international activities. The height and nature of market entry barriers directly influence the entry mode chosen by a company. Entry barriers increase the cost of entry and constraint the option available, and where they are high, the company might have only one choice of entry mode or else have to stay out.…
