Product Description
Reflecting public outrage over massive corporate scandals, Congress quickly enacted comprehensive business reform measures known as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX). While the business community focused on SOX’s reporting and control requirements, often over- looked were SOX’s harsh punishments imposed for white-collar crime. Congress rejected the long- practiced approach of lenient treatment of the perpetrators of occupational crimes, opting for the concept that severe penalties can effectively deter criminal behavior. Despite federal regulations that now require organizations to develop and promote corporate cultures of ethical conduct and legal compliance, a study of the corporate codes of conduct of America’s largest companies reveals that the business community has failed to use punishment as a deterrent. Failure to provide unambiguous consequences for illegal behavior is perceived by organizational members as tacit approval of their misconduct. Corporations have spent millions complying with SOX’s reporting measures, but are not implementing measures that could avoid future costly scandals. ... Read more

Product Description
Federal agents handcuffed Lea W. Fastow and charged the Houston heiress with helping her husband Andrew, former CFO of Enron, orchestrate one of the most notorious white-collar crimes in history. She's accused of wire fraud, money laundering, and filing false income-tax returns. According to the government, the socialite belonged to a small group of loyalists who executed the complex schemes allegedly devised by Andrew Fastow to inflate Enron's performance and enrich themselves. She is accused, essentially, of serving as a stand-in for her husband-wiring money, cashing checks, and handling financial housekeeping matters that the Enron CFO didn't want marked with his fingerprints. Lea's story, pieced together for the first time by BusinessWeek from internal corporate documents, government investigations, and more than two dozen interviews with friends and co-workers, is unique. No heiress has ever been charged with such complex financial fraud. She and Andy, who earned $62 million from 1997 to 2000, are the only husband-and-wife team implicated in the current round of corporate scandals. At the moment, Lea is front and center in the Enron Task Force investigation. She is the first former executive scheduled to go to trial. Lea has also been involved in plea bargain negotiations with the Justice Dept., according to a source with knowledge of the talks. She could potentially help pry open the frustrating case. The Fastows, who declined to speak with BusinessWeek, have both pleaded not guilty. In public statements, their lawyers argued that Enron's directors, executives, lawyers, and accountants knew about and approved everything Andy and Lea did. ... Read more
