Manipulating financial statements

Manipulating financial statements
• Worldcom
Instead of subtracting some expenses from
revenues in the income statement (and showing
lower profits), it treated these expenditures as
purchase of capital goods (i.e. fixed assets).
Therefore, the company did not have to subtract
the whole value of the expenses all at once, but
could subtract it over a large number of financial
years as depreciation.
By subtracting a lower amount of annual expenses,
the company reported higher profits on a yearly
basis.

Manipulating financial statements
• Enron
Manipulated debt levels (long-term liabilities).
Created special purpose entity (SPE) partnerships in
secretive locations, and placed part of its debt with
them. Some of these entities were not consolidated on
its balance sheet, and their debt did not appear as owed
by Enron, although in fact, as a partner, Enron was
essentially guaranteeing this debt.
Received loans from banks, which it did not report as
loans on the balance sheet. Instead, it reported them as
energy trades “pre-paid” by the banks. Therefore, not
only did the loans not appear on the firm’s balance
sheet but the cash received also appeared as part of its
revenues, thus reducing debt and increasing profits. 26
