    ACCOUNTING/FINANCE LESSONS OF ENRON
    A Case Study

    by Harold Bierman (Cornell University, USA)

    Table of Contents (30k)
    Introduction (33k)
    Chapter 1: The Enron Success and Failure (281k)
    Chapter 2: Enron as of 31 December 2000* (479k)

    There is a great deal of confusion regarding the factors that led to Enron's collapse. This important book addresses this problem by providing a coherent explanation of the accounting and finance problems associated with the collapse. The Skilling-Lay trial, as it is related to accounting or finance issues, is critically described as well. Through its well-balanced take on events surrounding the trial, the book therefore enables readers to analyze the validity of the arguments offered by the U.S. attorneys.
