CORPORATE GOVERNANCE FAILURE IN THE LEHMAN BROTHERS On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy. With $639 billion in assets and $619 billion in debt, Lehman's bankruptcy filing was the largest in history, as its assets far surpassed those of previous bankrupt giants such as WorldCom and Enron. Lehman was the fourth-largest U.S. investment bank at the time of its collapse, with 25,000 employees worldwide. Lehman's demise also made it the largest victim of the U.S. subprime mortgage-induced financial crisis that swept through global financial markets in 2008. Lehman's collapse was a seminal event that greatly intensified the 2008 crisis and contributed to the erosion of close to $10 trillion in market capitalization from global equity markets in October 2008 – the biggest monthly decline on record at the time.

- ToshIba, EY (LO 1, 2, 3) In 2015, the business press reported that Japan’s Toshiba Corp. over stated its operating profit by 151.8 billion yen ($1.22 billion) over several years through accounting irregularities involving top management. This overstatement represents approximately one-third of Toshiba’s pre-tax profits during the misstatement period. Toshiba had a corporate culture in which one could not go against the wishes of superiors. An investigation report noted that when top management presented ‘challenges’, division presidents, line managers and employees below them continually carried our inappropriate accounting practices to meet targets in line with the wishes of their superiors. Improper accounting included overstatements and booking profits early or pushing back the recording of losses or charges, and such steps often led to even higher targets being set for divisions in the following period. The report said much of the improper accounting, stretching back to fiscal year 2008, was intentional and would have been difficult for auditors to detect. The audit firm during this misstatement period was EY (Ernst & Young ShinNihon) who incurred significant reputational damage after they were accused of failing to detect the misstatement and fined $17.4 million by Japanese regulators. The investigation into Toshiba’s accounting practices was initially limited to its home country. However, in 2016 the U.S. Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission began looking into the case since part of the alleged fraud involved a Toshiba unit based in the US (Westinghouse Electric Company). a. Based on this limited information, does this case represent a business failure, an audit failure, or both? b. Should auditors be held liable if their client’s business fails or if the financial statements contain a fraud that the auditors did not detect? c. Under what law would the SEC be likely to pursue this case?arrow_forwardSwindle Company is experiencing financial difficulty and is negotiating debt restructuring with its creditor to relieve its financial stress.

The par value is $10 per share. The fair value of the bank loan payable on the date of restructuring is $3,200,000.

By the end of the year, Enron’s stock price had plummeted to less than $1per share. Investigations and lawsuits followed.
