본문내용: 1.3. The fall of Arthur Anderson accounting firm
Arthur Anderson was the auditor and consultant of Enron. However it overlooked the corrupt accounting practice of Enron, which was one of the main reasons of the crisis. After the Enron scandal, Andersen lost its major clients and got accused by its negligence in auditing Enron.
1.4. Mid- and long-term impacts on American energy industry
After Enron crisis, financial institutions raised the rate of interest on loans for energy-related corporations. Traditionally, energy industry’s liabilities are larger than other industries’. Thus, the financial difficulties became even more burdensome to energy industry, which in turn caused electric power companies to reduce investment on new power plant construction and caused gas companies to decrease investment on developing the reserves of natural gas. This raised the possibility that energy crisis would occur when the energy demand increases.

2. Improvements and changes

2.1. Awareness of the importance of transparent accounting
Enron crisis revealed a number of problems that US GAAP had. And it made people aware of the importance of transparent accounting. As a result, in 2002 at a meeting in Norwalk, Connecticut, the International Accounting Standard Board and the US Financial Accounting Standards Board agreed to harmonize their agenda and work towards reducing differences between IFRS and US GAAP. In February 2006, FASB and IASB issued a Memorandum of Understanding including a program of topics on which the two bodies will seek to achieve convergence by 2008.
Even after the Enron crisis, the Big Five accounting firms have yet to acknowledge the need for fundamental change to their independence rules. Instead, in a joint statement issued on Dec. 4, the CEOs of the Big Five focused largely on improving the rules of accountancy. Industry leader James S. Turley, chairman of Ernst & Young, says that rather than an audit failure, Enron "at its core was a business failure."

2.2. Enforcement of Sarbanes-Oxley Act
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, adopted by the US Congress in 2002, is the most significant measure of federal securities and corporate law since the New Deal legislation of the 1930s. The act was a reaction to a number of major corporate and accounting scandals including those affecting Enron, Tyco International, Adelphia, Peregrine Systems and WorldCom. These scandals, which cost investors billions of dollars when the share prices of affected companies collapsed, shook public confidence in the nation's securities markets.
This act shows that all dishonest corporate leaders must be exposed and punished. It also made loose standard and false profit exist no longer in business world. In the bill a restriction to an auditor was added saying that accounting firms should rotate the in-charge partners on an auditing assignment every 5 years in order to prevent auditors from getting too cozy with their corporate clients.

III. The reasons of Enron Crisis

1. Window dressing settlement
Enron's nontransparent financial statements did not clearly detail its operations and finances with shareholders and analysts. In addition, its complex business model stretched the limits of accounting, requiring that the company use accounting limitations to manage earnings and modify the balance sheet to portray a favorable depiction of its performance. According to McLean and Elkid in their book 『The Smartest Guys in the Room』, "The Enron scandal grew out of a steady accumulation of habits and values and actions that began years before and finally spiraled out of control." From late 1997 until its collapse, the primary motivations for Enron’s accounting and financial transactions seem to have been to keep reported income and reported cash flow up, asset values inflated, and liabilities off the books.
The combination of these issues later led to the bankruptcy of the company, and the majority of them were perpetuated by the indirect knowledge or direct actions of Lay, Jeffrey Skilling, Andrew Fastow, and other executives. Lay served as the chairman of the company in its last few years, and approved of the actions of Skilling and Fastow although he did not always inquire about the details. Skilling, const

Enron 으로 본 회계부정

Enron Online이라는 에너지 사이트로 온라인거래를 도입하여 혁신적인 산업, 새로운 거래기법을 선도한 기업의 이미지를 부각시켰다. 그러나 2001년 말에 회사가 수년간 차입에 의존한 무리한 신규사업으로 인해 막대한 손실을 입었고 이를 감추기 위해 분식회계를 해 왔음이 드러났다. 또한 중미, 남미, 아프리카에서의 계약에 뇌물수수, 정치적인 압력을 가했다는 스캔들이 돌면서 엔론의 주가는 90달러에서 30센트로 떨어졌다. 엔론은 2001년 12월 2일에

엔론(Enron), 월드컴(WorldCom) 등 거대기업의 회계부정 스캔들 등 불확실성으로 인해 미국경제는 부진한 성과를 보였다.회사채 스프레드가 2002년 가을 10여년래 최고수준을 기록했고 설비투자도 2003년 1분기까지 정체되었으며 자동차부문을 제외한 대다수 기업들은 수요가 증가하더라도 재고소진으로 대응한 정도였다. 그나마 주택시장이 활황을 보임에 따라 건설부문이 호조를 보였으며 소비지출을 지탱하는 데에도 기여하였다.2003년 3월 이라크전 개전

[중급회계] 엔론사 분식회계(영문)

Enron era?Employees: Thousands of people lost not only their jobs but their savings. Top Enron executives sold stock for millions while the company was still riding high and gave themselves big bonuses as bankruptcy neared. Meanwhile, they lied to employees and stockholders about the companys finances and ultimately forbade workers to bail out of 401(k) retirement plans that held Enron stock. Enron employees lost about $1 billion of their retirement savings as the company tumbled towards bankruptcy.Auditing & Accounting: Already shattered by the Enron scandal, the Arthur Andersen accountin

[윤리경영] 엔론 사태의 문제점 분석과 시사점

엔론사는 커다란 성장의 발판을 마련하는데 이는 1986년에 미국 연방에너지규제위원회(Federal Energy Regulatory Commission)의 천연가스 생산에 대한 가격 규제 해제의 영향이 컸다. 이러한 규제의 완화를 틈타 엔론은 1988년 천연가스산업에 금융서비스를 제공하는 방법을 택함으로써 금융회사로서의 전환을 맞이하게 된다. 이러한 변화는 엔론가스서비스(Enron Gas Service)사를 설립함으로써 구체화되었는데 소위 가스 은행(Gas Bank)를 말한다. 즉, 천연가스의 생산자
