Dear PEF Members and Friends;

The fine people at Forbes magazine have put together a new resource that is
sure to be useful to progressive researchers and writers: a compendium of
all the corporate accounting scandals that have rocked Wall Street in
recent months.

NEW YORK - With the avalanche of corporate accounting scandals that have
rocked the markets recently, it's getting hard to keep track of them
all--but our Corporate Scandal Sheet does the job. Here we'll follow
accounting imbroglios only--avoiding insider-trading allegations like
those plaguing ImClone, since chronicling every corporate transgression
would be impractical--and our timeline will start with the Enron debacle.
With no end in sight to corporate America's accounting mischief, keep this
page bookmarked, since it will be updated often.
