Trust in the Mind and Heart of Corporate Governance

Abstract

The collapse of Enron is not atypical of what can happen when a large organization is discovered to be less than open about “high risk” activities. In particular, it demonstrates that the actions of a few can bring havoc to the whole, and much besides. Countless innocent and trusting individuals lost their life savings when Enron fell and Arthur Andersen ceased to exist when its role as Enron’s sole auditor became known.
