This research paper: A 6 page paper answering 5 questions about what SPEs are, why they exist and how Enron abused the tool in its accounting. The paper reviews the FASB rules under which Enron first – and legitimately, early on – began using the SPE as an accounting and functional tool. It provides examples of Enron’s abuses and Arthur Andersen’s failure to require that Enron consolidate its SPEs on Enron’s balance sheet. The paper reviews the legitimate use of the SPE and concludes with a letter from a large business to the FASB requesting that FASB consider that SPEs constitute a class of tools useful to large businesses and beneficial to the larger economy. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
