State of Ethics in Corporate World

The Enron scandal was a corporate scandal involving the American energy company Enron Corporation based in Houston, Texas. Enron undoubtedly is the biggest audit failure.

Enron

Merck --draws VIOXX

Merck says it will fund the $4.85 billion settlement designed to resolve tens of thousands of lawsuits related to its Vioxx painkiller, waiving its right to walk away from the settlement deal. Payments to claimants will begin to be made before the end of August. Nearly 60,000 people have registered a claim that the once-popular painkiller caused a heart attack or stroke.

AIG, Marsh & McLennan - Insurance fraud Options back dating etc

The America's biggest insurers are mired in a brewing scandal that many executives fear could shake the industry to its core. Marsh & McLennan accused of price fixing (alleged conflicts of interest).

Options backdating is the practice of granting an employee stock option that is dated prior to the date that the company actually granted the option. This practice raises a number of legal and accounting issues. The practice of backdating itself is not illegal, nor is granting of discounted stock options. What is illegal is the improper disclosures, both in financial records and in filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
