"The WorldCom CFO did not tell Andersen about the line cost transfers nor did he consult with Andersen about the accounting treatment," Andersen said in a statement. "It is of great concern that important information about line costs was withheld from Andersen auditors by the chief financial officer of WorldCom."

I don't understand this comment from Anderson.....how is it defensible. I am not an accountant but when the auditors came to the company where I worked, they demanded to see every supporting document for every major line item. Everything had to cross check. The logic behind every transaction had to make perfect sense before they would certify. If they thought anything was suspect, they would cause our CFO to climb the walls.

I'm not an accountant but I don't see how this comment cuts it. With ENE, Andersen might be able to make that claim with ENE's off shore partnerships and the like but this sounds like a kid in school who was too busy playing his Gameboy to do his home work.
