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.CorporationsCorrupt practicesUnited StatesCase studiesElectronic books.CorporationsCorrupt practices364.1680973Bierman Harold151177MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453569003321Accounting2162646UNINA
