Abstract
Despite a rash of “underauditing” problems in recent years, the accounting profession has done little to stop their spread. The latest result is another disaster: Enron. Why has the United States had such a plague of questionable accounting? Exactly what went wrong at Enron? The author answers these questions and takes a sobering look at the implications—and what should be done.
