From the Paper:

"In the years after the Enron scandal, bookkeeping has taken a hard hit. Financial statements' creation and analysis has begun to be called into question. In today's society in which the distance between auditors and corporations has decreased so much, there needs to be more regulation. "The SEC has proposed stronger oversight of auditors' objectivity. Bolstering accounting coverage for innovative transactions is likely on the way. Mandating rotation of external auditors is also being considered" (Tannenbaum, 64). All of these are works in progress, but there is chance that they may be implemented in the future."
