Revelations about the orgy of corporate greed and fraud in the late 1990s and early 2000s have sent shock waves throughout the U.S. economy and around the world. Yet, there’s a curious thing about this particular episode in corporate history. While everyone seems to agree that crimes have been committed, most people — including the victims — have no idea what the criminals really did.
In the Orgy of Corporate Greed keynote, Joe unravels the financial fraud mysteries by telling a series of dramatic stories, exposing the business techniques and accounting tricks used by these high-powered and corrupt managers and executives.
You’ll hear how these scandalous “professionals” pumped up their companies’ stock prices and amassed huge fortunes for themselves, all while keeping investors, employees, and regulators in the dark. Revenue recognition, phantom sales, cookie jar accounting, capitalizing expenses, off balance sheet partnerships, and Sarbanes-Oxley will come to life through Joe’s lively discussion of this orgy that is still taking place today.
