Blog:Andersen guilty in Enron case

A jury in the United States has found accountancy firm Arthur Andersen guilty of obstructing justice by shredding documents relating to the failed energy giant Enron.
The verdict could be the death knell for the 89-year old company, once one of the world’s top five accountants.
Andersen has already lost much of its business, and two-thirds of its once 28,000 strong US workforce. Following the conviction, multi-million dollar lawsuits brought by Enron investors and shareholders demanding compensation are likely to follow, and could bankrupt the firm

However, the Sarbanes bill is not the only legislative attempt to clean up the bean-counting business.
The House, whose own Financial Services Committee is due to hold hearings into WorldCom, passed a bill proposed by Republican Michael Oxley in April.
The Oxley bill is less stringent than its Senate equivalent, and some pressure groups have suggested this is because accountancy firms have spent more on lobbying the House than the Senate.
In all, the Big Five have contributed more than $27m in the past 10 years to federal politicians.

blog:Phone exclusivity limits may make sense: Sprint CEO

The head of No. 3 U.S. mobile service Sprint Nextel Corp (S.N) said on Thursday that it is fair for the U.S. government to ask whether handset exclusivity deals should have time limits.
Sprint Chief Executive Dan Hesse said exclusive carrier deals with handset vendors are important for promoting innovation in the industry. He was responding to a question about a U.S. regulatory probe into such deals at a conference.

“The legitimate question is how long the exclusivity periods need to be. It’s a fair question,” Hesse told the audience at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia conference.

Hesse repeated Sprint’s target of losing fewer postpaid monthly bill paying customers this year than last year.

He declined to comment on recent speculation that Deutsche Telekom (DTEGn.DE) could make a bid for Sprint.

Asked on the sidelines of the conference whether there should be more consolidation in the hugely competitive U.S. wireless market, Hesse told reporters “I don’t know if its going to happen or if it’s necessary. It’s a healthy, growing industry with growth potential.”

blog:Verge of collapse

The White House has said its massive $787bn (£472bn) stimulus package, known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, passed earlier this year, has created up to 1.1m jobs and boosted economic activity.

“When I walked in, the banking system, the financial system was under the verge of collapse,” Mr Obama said on Sunday in an interview on the 60 Minutes television show.

“The reason we did so was that every credible Democratic and Republican economist at the time when we came in said if we don’t have a stimulus of some sort, then this is potentially going to get a lot worse,” he said.

The White House has said it boosted US GDP by 2-3% between April and June.

blog:Semenya gender tests

The president of Athletics South Africa has admitted that he lied about gender tests on runner Caster Semenya before her gold-medal win at the World Athletics Championships last month.
The national sports body has always denied that it agreed to the tests before the race in Berlin, Germany — an event that kicked off international controversy over the 18-year-old Semenya’s gender.

But after South Africa’s Mail & Guardian newspaper printed e-mails on Friday showing that ASA President Leonard Chuene was aware of the tests, he held a news conference to apologize.

“I now realize that it was an error of judgment and I would like to apologize unconditionally,” Chuene said on Saturday, according to South Africa’s SAPA news agency.

After receiving the results of the tests, the South Africa team doctor requested the 18-year-old Semenya be withdrawn from the 800-meter race she ended up winning, Chuene said.
But Chuene said he refused to do it because the sport’s international governing body did not request withdrawal. He also said withdrawing Semenya might have looked bad.

“If we did not let her run, we would be confirming that she is not normal,” Chuene told the news conference in the capital, Pretoria.

The e-mails printed by the Mail & Guardian are an exchange between team doctor Harold Adams and ASA General Manager Molatelo Malehopo, with Chuene copied in.

“After thinking about the current confidential matter I would suggest that we make the following decisions,” Adams wrote on August 5, more than a week before the Berlin race.

“1. We get a (gynecological) opinion and take it to Berlin. 2. We do nothing and I will handle these issues if they come up in Berlin. Please think and get back to me ASAP.”

An e-mail response from Malehopo to Adams, sent the same day, says: “I will suggest that you go ahead with the necessary tests that the IAAF might need.”
