ENRON: Crooks In Suits: The Story of Enron and the Biggest Corporate Scandal in History

2017

Synopsis

When you hear the word "Enron," the word scandal pops into your mind automatically. It was big, it was awful, it was ugly. It brought out a lot of change in all corporate America, even down to the industry to where I worked. We are trained on it every year.

This is the story of the biggest corporate scandal in American history, and how the 'smartest guys in the room' were responsible for such major failings in corporate governance and responsibility.
