Episode 1: Enron: The Audit That Killed Arthur Andersen
17 min 44 s
In October 2001, Enron’s audit firm was shredding documents. Less than five years later, a jury convicted Enron’s former CEO on nineteen counts, five of them for lying to auditors. This case file walks through Enron the way an auditor would: mark-to-market profits, the CFO’s own partnerships, the Nigerian barge deal, and the independence problem at Arthur Andersen. Then it follows what the courts found, including the Andersen conviction that the Supreme Court reversed after the firm had already collapsed.
