The world of accounting has changed dramatically since the days of Enron and Arthur Andersen. Executives and accountants are being held to a higher level of accountability. This is a good thing. Many of the changes to the profession due to SOX make servicing clients a hassle. Yet, fraud will continue to take place no matter what kind of regulations are put in place. Unfortunately, it’s the nature of human beings. Some people lack strong ethics and/or morals and a few of these folks are top executives. However, most people have good ethics and morals.

So the question, can we trust accountants or Wall Street is a tricky one. What are your thoughts? Do you agree with the post at SocialYell?
