In the assigned reading for this week, Arthur Levin used some interesting language regarding Enron's business practices, such as creative accounting, trickery, hocus-pocus. He also explained from a values perspective, why these business practices were dangerous.

In this week's discussion, you will post once and respond to the two prompts below.

Your responses should be in paragraph format.

You are not required to reply to another member's post this week.

1. When Levin refers to the creative business practices, provide me an example, using your own words, of how Enron implemented their practices and their motivation for doing so.

2. Based on this interview and the materials we covered in class, I would like to hear your thoughts about the importance of ethical business practices and if the oversight of Dodd-Frank and SOX are sufficient in our current business environment. Would you roll back some of the regulations or expand them to include additional controls or private businesses?
