Instructions:
Purpose of Assignment
Corporate fraud has cost businesses and its shareholders millions of
dollars and has been the source of legislation and regulations
attempting to provide oversight and guidance to corporate boards,
executives, and practitioners. Think about how these laws have
changed the practices of corporate executives and, in light of the Enron
scandal et al., has it been enough?
