What happened to Sherron Watkins Enron?

What famous company did Sherron Watkins work for?

What was the context for her to write what she did?

She worked at PWC, a subsidiary of Ernst & Young. (). She wrote a memo which was circulated to the Board of directors (and others) to advise them that Enron's accounting practices were wrong, and not in keeping with GAAP.

Why was she doing this? It's hard to know why. We can surmise. The accounting profession has two sides: those who make sure it keeps up with regulation, and those who ensure it doesn't. One side will win out over the other: the one with the most power. This is what is meant by the dominance of the professions. So we can put it down to one side or the other. There are also some other possible explanations.

In any case, one side will be able to do this because it has an interest in doing so. A side which has an interest will be able to keep an accounting system which works for it, rather than against it. (And of course, the financial institutions have an interest in keeping the rules simple, not having multiple sets of standards with different interpretations, because the financial industry is very good at making a profit for the banks and the like, based on the simplicity and consistency of the regulatory environment.)

The accounting profession as a whole has a different set of interests. If they're to maintain their dominant position, they have to make sure that the rules work in their favour. So we can expect to see some resistance to Watkins' memo from the accounting side. But as the story shows, you don't have to be someone from outside the profession to understand this.

What were her charges? The charges were about the use of mark-to-market accounting, which was (ahem) the practice of treating the value of financial assets as though they were available for sale, in the same way that non-financial assets could be sold. This practice is widely recognised as being particularly problematic: it makes it appear that companies have more income and assets than they actually do. So it's likely that Watkins believed that mark-to-market was bad for the corporation, its stock holders and its customers.

How do I know about this?

Was Sherron Watkins a CPA?

What does that mean?

That she was a "certified public accountant"? It means that she was a registered public account. I'll bet it seems like that doesn't make any sense. Why would you register as an accountant? That's because accounting is not just about bookkeeping. It's also about tax accounting, reporting of financial data to the government, analyzing financials to make recommendations for future profitability, and planning for the future.

An accountant is a very valuable position that provides many benefits to both a company and the account holder. The most obvious benefit for the company is that the account holder knows how to prepare reports to give to upper management. If a company wants to know if it's going to have a loss in the future, the account holder knows how to find that out. If a company wants to know how much tax they will have to pay in the future, the account holder knows how to find that out. If a company wants to know how much profit they have after expenses to use to invest in new products, the account holder knows how to find that out. If a company wants to know how much it has to spend on marketing to attract new customers, the account holder knows how to find that out. And the benefits for the account holder are that he or she can do all of this easily and accurately with an easy-to-use accounting software package. Watkins' job was "accountant" in the sense that she had access to these resources and knew how to use them. What kind of job is that? You might ask yourself, "Why would I want to be an accountant?". Why would you want to be a doctor, lawyer, teacher, dentist, computer programmer, or teacher? The answer is simple. You enjoy what you do and it provides you with many benefits.

Your job may be a job that you don't enjoy, but at the same time, you don't get the benefits of enjoying what you do. Doing what you don't enjoy is called a job. But it's not a good job. It's usually just a job to pay the bills.

When you go to work and do what you enjoy, you feel fulfilled and that makes you happier. That's why you're reading this book.
