Big Business obscenity of the day. From 5/20/02 Wall Street Journal: "Federal authorities are trying to determine whether Computer Associates International Inc. wrongly booked over $500 million in revenue in its 1998 and 1999 fiscal years as part of a scheme to enrich the company's senior managers. "The Computer Associates probe, which is being conducted jointly by the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission, is one of many in which the government is examining the revenue-recognition practices of leading companies. Last week, Computer Associates acknowledged that the investigation had widened to include subpoenas to third parties. Its accountant for the 1998 and 1999 fiscal years, Ernst & Young LLP, said it has received such a demand and was cooperating with authorities."
