Body The United States District Court authorized the ARRT to seize control of the review company in 2008, because of the 250,000 dollar judgment against the company (Renner, 2009). The company lost everything because of copy right infringement, because the exam and the questions in the exam are the property of ARRT.

In 1972, there was a rise of the “Watergate Scandal” which over the next couple years would prove to tarnish the image of the President of the United States. The office of the president was behind the scandal in the fact that it was responsible for the break in at the office of the Democratic National Committee in Washington. President Nixon’s reelection committee and members of the White House had made efforts to destroy the Democrat’s chances for running for office. During the investigation, it

I was first introduced to the world of business through a book called Pipe Dreams: Greed, Ego, and the Death of Enron. At the time, though I had difficulty understanding all the complicated underlying causes for the energy giant’s collapse, I was struck by the fact that Arthur Andersen, Enron’s auditor, failed to fulfill their obligations to conduct proper audits, and ultimately lost their CPA licenses. This made me interested in the role of auditors and the reasons behind their significant—though

Woodward and Bernstein faced several obstacles while exposing the Watergate Scandal and Nixon’s involvement. At first their editor blocks them because their story lacks. They had few leads, and the leads they had led to nothing. When they called people who they thought were involved in to get information they would not talk and would hang up.
