From the Paper:

"At the onset, it was difficult to comprehend, how an apparently stable company could suddenly plunge into corporate bankruptcy within a short amount of time. Subsequent investigations into the company's ledgers unfortunately revealed that Enron Corporation had long suffered from a string of financial losses which were carefully left out in their financial reports to their investors and shareholders. Enron Corporation's method of corporate deceit involved the creation of offshore entities, overseas business units still under the parent company but operating under a different taxation policy and financial currency."
