URL: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/regulation/

Description:
An examination of how the "corporate watchdogs -- the bankers, lawyers, regulators, politicians, and above all, the accountants -- failed to prevent Enron and other scandals from happening" and "how the system of controls was eroded by conflicts of interest, as well as by congressional intervention that blocked efforts at protecting investors." Includes video clips of interviews, discussions, chat, transcripts, and Questions Investors Need to Ask . From the PBS series Frontline .
