Question - The Enron Corporation was involved in one of the largest accounting scandals in American history. As the company began to experience losses, it had developed schemes that were designed to hide the losses and make the company appear more profitable than it really was. Enron's accounting firm Arthur Andersen LLP oversaw Enron's accounts. As one of the five largest accounting firms in the United States at the time, Andersen had a reputation for high standards and quality risk management. However, despite Enron's poor accounting practices, Arthur Andersen offered its stamp of approval, signing off on the corporate reports for years. In Dec. 2, 2001, Enron had filed for bankruptcy.

Imagine that your team has been hired by Enron's Board of Directors to re-organize and liquidate Enron's operations and assets. Before your team can do that, you must develop a new set of accounting policies to govern your actions. Based on the concept of ACCOUNTING WITH ETHICS, what type of answers must your policies be able to address?
