520    "This revised edition of Clarke, Dean and Oliver's 
       provocative book tells why accounting has failed to 
       deliver the truth about a company's state of affairs or to
       give warning of its drift towards failure. Well-known 
       corporate collapses from the 1960s to the present day show
       that little has changed over these decades. The authors 
       balance broad interpretations and recommendations for 
       regulatory reform with intricate case details, insightful 
       analysis of contemporary practices and dissection of the 
       pervading commercial rhetoric. Corporate Collapse includes
       examinations of the recent HIH, One. Tel, Ansett and Enron
       debacles and shows that the cult of the individual in 
       media coverage has masked serious endemic problems in the 
       system of reporting financial information. The book is 
       essential reading for professional accountants and 
       auditors, company directors and managers, regulators, 
       corporate lawyers, and investors, and accounting academics
       and their students."
