    There was the mark to market issue, the abuse of SPEs (special purpose entities) or off book accounting, and a number of issues that were just plain criminal. I think Arthur Anderson deserved a lot more punishment than it got.

    H the Question moves me. It's a lot of work if one doesn't know. Since you are asking and, I don't know if you testing the forum. Or, is there a even a readily available answer?

    Possibility: Enron didn't violate GAAP. A disturbing thought!

    Reasons I won't go there, I really wanted some Enron. I never got there. I didn't follow it.

    P.S. stinkin' spell checker doesn't want me to us an acronym.
