"Das System ist krank": Ex-Andersen-Partner Marek Wojcicki übt im Manager Magazin scharfe Kritik am weltweiten Oligopol der großen Wirtschaftsprüfer. Er sieht den Bankrott von Enron und die Verwicklung des Prüfers Andersen als "Beispiel für eine Krankheit, die die gesamte Branche erfasst hat". Die Krankheitskandidaten im Einzelnen:
DIE WIRTSCHAFTSPRÜFER
Erster Todesfall: Arthur Andersen - wir berichteten.
DIE BANKEN
"Bei den Untersuchungen des Milliardenbetrugs bei Enron wird die unrühmliche Rolle der Banken immer deutlicher. Mit komplizierten Transaktionen sollen Citigroup [This is Citigroup] und JP Morgan Chase geholfen haben, den anwachsenden Schuldenberg vor den Aktionären zu verbergen" und so das schmutzige Spiel zu decken, berichtet Spiegel Online. Die Kandidaten stehen somit offiziell unter Betrugsverdacht.
DIE INVESTMENTHÄUSER
"Um seinen Kunden entgegenzukommen, hat das Investmenthaus Merrill Lynch offenbar unbequeme Mitarbeiter abgezogen. Kaufempfehlungen bekam [man] praktisch auf Bestellung," so Spiegel Online.
DAS MANAGEMENT
"Problem isn't greed - it's not enough greed", the Philadelphia Inquirer says. "Far from being too 'greedy,' too many of America's CEOs are not greedy enough. They are pragmatic corner-cutters, who fail to recognize that there is far more wealth to be achieved by a consistent, long-range policy of honesty - by creating a good product and maintaining the company's reputation over many years - than by squeezing out some momentary advantage."
POLITIK UND BÖRSENAUFSICHT
From the ABC Clinton Interview: "We started back in '98 warning about the accounting problems and when my Securities and Exchange Commissioner tried to stop the Enron accounting practice of accountants being the consultants, the [Republican] party stopped us, and their main lobbyist was Harvey Pitt, who is now head of the SEC."
Comments are closed at the moment. I will post a blog entry as soon as they are available again.
