Bien sûr l'argent n'a pas d'odeur mais pas d'odeur vous monte au nez ...Répercussions du dossier Enron:
Agir Avant que le procès de la comptabilité ne commence.  La Crédibilité des États financiers en cause ou les instruments financiers dérivés hors de contrôle

Aux États-Unis, personne n’avait réagit lorsque de dangereux conflits d'intérêts se profilaient à l'horizon.  Voila maintenant que la comptabilité a servi à masquer des fraudes titanesques avec l’effondrement du géant au pieds d’argile qu’était la société Enron sous le couvert d'États financier dits "vérifiés".  Nous avions entendu parler de concentration des pouvoirs, de double-mandats, comptabilité créative, et personne n'a bronché. Il est plus que temps d'examiner plus sérieusement si le public est protégé au-delà des remparts de papiers que sont devenues les corporations professionnelles.   Celles-ci encadrent leurs membres mais le flou qui les séparent laisse le champ libre à des abus et les lacunes de la désuétude du système législatif donne plus de droit aux professionnels d’autres pays de l’ALENA qu’à des professionnels compétents et responsables formés ici.

Les dérivés visent la gestion du risque et de la trésorerie, mais comment limiter leur utilisation à des fins contre- productives    


Entendons nous.
Nous ne saurions être contre la spéculation qui est à la base du système de valeurs ou ceux qui prennent des risques méritent la rétribution pour leur capital et leur travail.  Mais si certains dépassent les bornes et n'ont pour règles du jeux que leur propres intérêt (rendre publiques les pertes et privatiser les profits), certains spéculateurs et courtiers paient parfois chèrement leur prise de positions. On a catalogué divers types de risque tous liés aux effets indésirables de contrats financiers mal adaptés au contexte, tous liés aux conséquences imprévues de leur utilisation inconsidérées.  Effet Forrest Gump, effet Pretty face, etc...comment maintenant ne pas prévoir qu'un cocontractant prestigieux pourrait se transformer en cas de pertes, en victime sympathique aux yeux de la Cour.  Les contrats renferment maintenant tous des dispositions à l'effet que les parties ne sont pas le conseiller l'une de l'autre...
