A Withering Expos Of The Unethical Practices That Triggered The Indictment And Collapse Of The Legendary Accounting Firm.Arthur Andersen'S Conviction On Obstruction Of Justice Charges Related To The Enron Debacle Spelled The Abrupt End Of The 88Yearold Accounting Firm. Until Recently, The Venerable Firm Had Been Regarded As The Accounting Profession'S Conscience. In Final Accounting, Barbara Ley Toffler, Former Andersen Partnerincharge Of Andersen'S Ethics & Responsible Business Practices Consulting Services, Reveals That The Symptoms Of Andersen'S Fatal Disease Were Evident Long Before Enron. Drawing On Her Expertise As A Social Scientist And Her Experience As An Andersen Insider, Toffler Chronicles How A Culture Of Arrogance And Greed Infected Her Company And Led To Enormous Lapses In Judgment Among Her Peers. Final Accounting Exposes The Slow Deterioration Of Values That Led Not Only To Enron But Also To The Earlier Financial Scandals Of Other Andersen Clients, Including Sunbeam And Waste Management, And Illustrates The Practices That Paved The Way For The Accounting Fiascos At Worldcom And Other Major Companies.Chronicling The Inner Workings Of Andersen At The Height Of Its Success, Toffler Reveals 'The Making Of An Android,' The Peculiar Process Of Employee Indoctrination Into The Andersen Culture; How Androidsboth Accountants And Consultantslived The Mantra 'Keep The Client Happy'; And How Internal Infighting And 'Billing Your Brains Out' Rather Than Quality Work Became The Allimportant Goals. Toffler Was In A Position To Know When Something Was Wrong. In Her Earlier Role As Ethics Consultant, She Worked With Over 60 Major Companies And Was An Internationally Renowned Expert At Spotting And Correcting Ethical Lapses. Toffler Traces The Roots Of Andersen'S Ethical Missteps, And Shows The Gradual Decay Of A Onceproud Culture.Uniquely Qualified To Discuss The Personalities And Principles Behind One Of The Greatest Shakeups In United States History, Toffler Delivers A Chilling Report With Important Ramifications For Ceos And Individual Investors Alike.
