(including an actual case study of Enron:
e.g. Conflict of interest: Arthur Anderson had a conflict of interest as auditors of Enron because of the relationship that had developed with their clients. Arthur Anderson LLP, had had a long relationship with Enron, and the relationship had become friendly rather than professional. As a result, Arthur Anderson failed to maintain a professional distance from their client, and when auditing Enron's books they failed to act in a neutral and unbiased way. This resulted in failure to report non-compliance with the professional accounting standards. This failure enabled Enron to hide massive financial losses that should have been public knowledge. Arthur Andersons failure led to a crisis of confidence in accounting standards and practices).
