When you hear the word "Enron," the word scandal pops into your mind automatically. It was big, it was awful, it was ugly. It brought out a lot of change in all corporate America, even down to the industry to where I worked. We are trained on it every year. We must learn Sarbanes-Oxley, like it is a Bible Verse, so something like this never happens again.
This is the story of the biggest corporate scandal in American history, and how the 'smartest guys in the room' were responsible for such major failings in corporate governance and responsibility.
Having read almost all of the other books about Enron, this one got 3 stars mostly because it's short and full of grammatical errors. It reads as if it was dictated out loud which is okay for some, but that is where the grammar comes in. Nevertheless, this book has its place. For the reader who doesn't read very much and who just wants an easy rundown of the basics without all the accounting details, this book will work.....thus the 3 stars. It would have been better if the written version had been edited for grammar before publishing.
