    Good overview but needs updating and more substance

    Though this was an ethics book, it could have just as easily been about ethics in another profession and not specifically accounting. It provides a good overview, especially with looks into Enron and Worldcom. However, not as in-depth as others have been in the area and too often repeats itself with some fluff.

    It is useful to a certain extent but not at all what I was expecting.
