Apparently you can't read.

The accountants didn't catch the problem - but Clinton's SEC appears to have made it possible.

It should be interesting to see Levitt testify as to why his agency let Enron have what it wanted in defiance of Congress.

re:"Among other things, Chairman Levitt wanted to prohibit accountants from holding consulting contracts with the same firms they held audit contracts with."

I believe that this has already been happening. I think that last year there were several spin-offs ot the consulting divisions of large accounting firms..
