Modern capitalism and political freedom rest on concepts of
conscience and morality, and abhor concentrations of unbridled
power. America's economic and political system has developed
mechanisms designed to check and balance such power. Despite these
mechanisms, corporate America has produced imperious chief
executives, who, possessing such power, abuse it by engaging in a
fraudulent and self-serving pursuit of wealth and the trappings of
authority. How did it happen? How did the system respond? What can
be done to minimize the danger of its reoccurrence? Corruption in
Corporate America seeks to answer these questions, first, by
realizing that, to be able to misbehave, chief executives must
achieve the support or silence of their boards of directors as well
as the gatekeepers who presumably guard the integrity of corporate
accounts (i.e. auditors, legal advisers, financial analysts,
investment bankers, and regulatory bodies), and second, by
analyzing how each of those participants becomes involved in
corporate fraud. The analysis is completed by a look ahead at the
prospective results of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the law
enacted as the corrective response to corporate corruption.
Hopefully, the insights gained by this analysis will contribute to
a revived confidence in the integrity of corporate accounts, and
thereby sustain the vitality of America's capital markets, which
are vital to our future economic well-being.
