Allegations mount at area charter
Teachers say school tampered with tests, attendance records.

scandal,
revealed in October 2001, eventually led to the bankruptcy
of
the Enron
Corporation,
an American energy
company
based in Houston,
Texas,
and the de facto dissolution of Arthur
Andersen,
which was one of the five
largest
audit
and
accountancy
partnerships
in
the world. In addition to being the largest bankruptcy reorganization
in American history at that time, Enron was attributed as the biggest
audit failure.
