An acquittal would be a moral victory but basically a moral victory for a corpse. The name Arthur Andersen, once held in such high regard, is now a joke. |
Andersen appears to be doing everything it can to turn this around but nothing is stopping the train from roaring down the track. |
Andersen has gone into bunker mentality and is acting like a beaten dog. |
Any of the four would be willing to do [a merger] if they were shielded from liability. |
Companies are meeting today to decide if they are going to keep Andersen. |
Creditors could be saying that they need a different name on the audit sheet now. |
Each state would have to take action and either suspend or revoke Andersen's license. |
Edwards wanted to follow Wadia and has been on the fast track for quite a while. |
I hope they will settle or they might just collapse before then. |
If Andersen could fit with anyone it would have to be Deloitte. Their business approach is similar. |
It's an advantage for the client to have the auditor, who knows more about the business than anyone, to do the consulting. He already knows the business. Why not do the consulting? |
Justice wants blood. They want to see a fundamental change in the firm and this doesn't indicate anything like that. |
Salvatore's extremely capable. I'm surprised he didn't get the job permanently. |
The longer they hold onto these people the more difficult the negotiations and transition to another firm will become. |
The only reason the FTC would allow [a merger] is because Andersen is in such dire straits. |
